Docent

A docent is a trained volunteer interested in sharing their knowledge and passion for art. Docents conduct tours of the exhibitions for visitors. The Rochester Art Center now offers an intensive 6-month training program and ongoing training with each exhibition cycle that provides an overview of modern and contemporary art history, teaching methods and public speaking.
