The University of Arizona Museum of Art (UAMA) is recruiting gallery guides. Gallery guides – also known as docents – plan and lead welcoming and interactive tours in the UAMA galleries for K12, college, and adult groups. Gallery guides are a mix of volunteer community members and University of Arizona students, who may be eligible to receive a financial award through their bursar account, based on level of participation.
New trainees attend ongoing trainings on 1-3 Monday mornings per month, shadow and receive mentorship from experienced guides and museum staff, and complete at least one practice tour prior to leading groups on their own.
