TAM Docent Needs: May Updates

Hello Docents,

 

I am still looking for a docent or two to help with one or more of the following tours:

 

Tour Type:                  The 10th NW Biennial

Tour Contact:              Shirley Loper 206.323.3382   

Organization:               SAM Volunteers 

Date & Time:               Saturday, May 19, 2012, from 11am to 12 pm

Guest Count:               16-20

Docent:                       NEED  

 

We are also looking for one more docent to help on Saturday, May 12th, from 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm to with potential HIDE/SEEK tours. This is in conjunction with the Queering the Museum Symposium. This is a good opportunity to take on if you are interested in hearing Jonathan Katz speak again, as there may not be a tour to take around.

 

Symposium: Queering the Museum
Friday-Saturday, May 1112 at Henry Art Gallery, Seattle

Join partners at UW Seattle and representatives from the museum community for a Friday evening and Saturday morning program examining what it takes to bring an exhibition focused on gay themes to the public. What is the current status of LGBTQ issues in the museum community, and where are we going? Examine these questions and others, then travel to Tacoma Saturday afternoon to view the HIDE/SEEK exhibition in person. UW-facilitated travel may be available for those who need it.

 

I also have two large tours in early June that I need your help with:

 

Tour Type:                  HIDE/SEEK

Organization:               UW Alumni   

Date & Time:               Saturday, June 2nd, from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Docent:                       2 needed
