Docents receive special training in art history and effective touring techniques. Through exciting interactive tours and participatory discussions, docents provide an invaluable service to the Bay Area community. Docents provide students with the art education that many schools can no longer offer. Children's tours include a hands-on workshop.
Tours are by appointment and most are scheduled for weekday mornings.
Guild members staff the gallery's front desk, greet visitors, provide visitors with information, and monitor activities in the gallery. Guild members also host gallery receptions and participate in fundraising activities. Guild members work weekday afternoons and some evenings during receptions. Interns use their skills with Macintosh computers, graphic design, manual and power tools, writing, and phone reception to help organize exhibitions, publicize events, and meet administrative needs. College student interns sometimes receive school credit.
