Heard Museum seeks docents
Tour guides learn about Native cultures, history and arts
Want to lead tours at the Heard Museum while making new friends and becoming part of a 600-strong group of interesting, engaging people? Join Las Guias, the touring arm of the Heard Museum Guild. To become a docent, each student completes a seven-month, weekly class focused on the history, cultures and arts of Native people in the Southwest, and commit to leading 30 tours or talks per year. The class also includes several day-trips, which are designed to enhance the coursework. The course is taught by long-time Guild member and docent Barbara Johnson.
All guides are required to become a member of the Heard Museum and become a member of the museum’s Guild. Once a certified guide, docents help the nearly 150,000 annual visitors to the Heard learn more about its exhibits, events and special programming.
In addition, many Las Guias members form bonds with like-minded mature adults outside the museum walls and forge friendships that, in some cases, can last a lifetime.
WHEN: Class begins Tuesday, October 2, 2012 and continues for approximately seven months. Class is held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. most Tuesday mornings through early May. Last day to register for the class, space permitting, is September 27, 2012.
WHERE: Heard Museum, 2301 North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Ariz.
COST: Las Guias training class costs $150; in addition, students must be a Heard Museum member and join the Heard Museum Guild.
