You made it. You now have the tools and the information to share this wonderful museum with our visitors, .We all know, that this is just the beginning of an ongoing process of being a docent for HoMA. In the coming weeks and months, you will find ways to use your new tools. You'll also be inclined to seek out even more information because a visitor stumped you. You will become adept at adaptation. You will be challenged (in good ways, of course!) With that, I leave you all with two bits of advice when out there giving tours: Be yourself. This is when you are at your best. Have fun. If it's not, make it so. Lastly, thank you for your support and commitment to this museum. And welcome to our Learning & Engagement Team! 2019-2020 From Docents For Docents Information January 2020 Wed Jan 1 Museum closed New Year's Day Mon Jan 6 10am Curatorial presentation by Stephen Salel of The Aesthetic Refinement of “Primitive Ukiyo-e” Gallery 21 Mon January 13 10am FDFD Big Ideas in Western Art Allyn Bromley + Susan Palmore Lecture Hall Mon Jan 27 2pm Docent Chairs Mtg to be rescheduled FDFD Women in Art by Marcia Morse Gall 27 February 2020 Mon Feb 3 10am-12:00pm FDFD African American artists Mae Mendelson Lecture Hall Mon Feb 10 10am-12N G Suite training for docents.
