Tacoma Art Museum Docents Blog TAM Docents Blog: TAM: help us advertise Chuck Close in Conversation with Bob Holman

Dear Docents,

Please help us advertise the upcoming program “Chuck Close in Conversation with Bob Holman.”

When you are in the galleries as a docent—especially in the Chuck Close gallery—I think it would be very effective to have the docents also telling visitors about the May 11 program. Please carry some of the info cards for the program with you, tell visitors about the program, and pass out the cards. You can pick up the cards at the front desk. They are the blue-turquoise cardstock cards with text only, that give all the info about the May 11 program.

This really is a unique opportunity to hear two very relevant artists talk about their work and collaboration.

Tell all your friends too!
