Docents

Docents of the Mint

The Mint Museum's Docents are volunteer members of the Education Division who engage visitors by leading tours and programs related to the museum's collections and special exhibitions. A thorough training program prepares docents with teaching skills and helps develop their knowledge of aesthetics and the history of art. Dues are $10 for Active Docents and $20 for Associate Docents. For more information contact Allison Taylor in the Education department at 704/337-2032.

 

The Docent class for 2009 is full but we are taking names for the 2010 class. Docents are an essential part of The Mint Museum's outreach to area elementary and secondary schools. Docents also conduct tours to other groups from pre-school children to senior citizen

Mint Docents are known for excellence, enthusiasm and their spirit and warmth. Docents are people who have:
-    the ability to communicate effectively with a group
-    an education background, or strong interest in art
-    a warm and friendly attitude
