Little Rock museum with a trained docent program focused on welcoming visitors, leading tours, and encouraging discussion in the galleries.
The Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts docent program prepares volunteers to orient and engage gallery guests, lead group tours, and encourage discussion. Art-history or teaching experience is not required. The official page describes the program and expectations but does not promise that a new training cohort is currently accepting applications, so prospective docents should contact the museum before making plans.
