May. Guided by Josh Goldberg, UAMA Curator of Education, docents explore the who, what, where, when, how and why and the wonders of the visual arts. Together docents study the treasures of the Museum's remarkable collection and consider the challenges of contemporary art. Docents share what they have learned with school children, UA students and the general public as they lead tours of the Museum's permanent collection and changing exhibitions. Teachers may consult with Museum education staff to link specific exhibitions to areas of study and to tailor tours to focus on specific curricular concerns. Schedule tours at least two weeks in advance.
