Huntington Museum of Art hosting event for potential docents

September 05, 2010 @ 05:35 PM

HUNTINGTON — The Huntington Museum of Art is hosting an open house for anyone interesting in being a docent.

The free event is scheduled from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 7. Refreshments will be provided.

A docent is someone who volunteers time to lead schoolchildren and museum visitors on guided tours. No prior experience or background in art is required. If you enjoy art and sharing your knowledge, you are asked to come out for more information.

Docents also receive training on exhibits each Monday morning.

Those interested in attending the informational open house and learning more about the docent program can call Cindy Dearborn at 304-529-2701 or by e-mail at cdearborn@hmoa.org.

For more information, visit www.hmoa.org. HMA is fully accessible.

The museum is located at 2033 McCoy Road, Huntington.
