TAM Docents: Public Docent Tours Update

Hello Docents-

I have added the April Public Docent Tours for April. Those are below, along with the  March tours too, just as a reminder. I have created signs and given them to the front desk so feel free to ask them to put that signage out during your shift. These are tours we are advertising and charging an extra $3 for but you can offer free tours at will (please choose another tour theme so that we are not competing with ourselves. For example, if you are scheduled for a Biennial tour, offer a free museum highlights tour at a different time). The public docent tours are just a way to advertise and offer tours to individuals and groups of less than 10.

Thank you!

-Jana
