Docents
Becoming A Docent
Are you a retired teacher, an under-employed art aficionado or just a very friendly and enthusiastic person? Share your love of art and learning by becoming a docent at the Akron Art Museum! Docenting offers an extraordinary experience for people who love art, working with others and continually challenging their minds through learning.
Docents are specially trained volunteers who guide groups of adults and children on tours through the museum. It’s the docent’s job to encourage discussion and provide information about the museum and the artwork on view.
More detailed information on becoming a docent can be obtained from contacting the education department at 330.376.9186 x229 or x230 or aCaplan@AkronArtMuseum.org.
