Tacoma Art Museum Docents

Happy 2010!

 

Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year.  I hope to see many of your faces at our exhibition opening in a few weeks.  It should be a festive occasion and fun for all ages.   I am also happy to report we have many inquiries for group tours at the museum in the coming months.  I have listed them below.  Please take a look at this list and let me know if you will be available on any of these dates.

 

January-

 

A group of 10-12 ladies with AAUW Palette to Palate group would like a tour of Concise History on Wednesday, January 27 at 10:30 am.

 

February-

 

A group of 25 adult artists from Pacific Northwest Art School on Whidbey Island would like a tour of the Movement of Impressionism on Thursday, February 25 at 11 am.

 

March-

 

I am still looking for 3 docents to give tours on March 13 at 12:30 and 1:45 pm for a large group of Japanese students from Mukogawa University in Spokane.  The contact for this tour has requested that the docents speak slowly, enunciate clearly and share basic exhibition overviews with these groups.

 

I will need 2 docents for a Chihuly Walking tour on March 16, 2010 at 10:45 am.  This tour will have between 32 and 52 participants.

 

I will need another 3 docents to lead the same group from Mukogawa, for different students, on Saturday, March 20, again at 12:30 and 1:45 pm.

 

April-

 

A group of 22 people from the Art Institute of Chicago would like a tour of museum highlights on Wednesday, April 21, at 11:45 am.

 

Thank you for all you do for Tacoma Art Museum!  I look forward to seeing you soon!
