Does Being Around Art Bring You Joy?
Would You Like to Give Back to Your Community?

A Meadows Museum docent giving a tour to a group of school children.
The Meadows Museum is looking for volunteers who enjoy learning as much as connecting visitors with the art in our galleries. Using active engagement and hands-on experiences, our docents strive to spread their infectious love of art to visitors of all ages, particularly our school-age guests. In addition to providing an invaluable service to the museum, docents enjoy a deep dive into Spain’s rich cultural heritage while forming social connections with like-minded arts enthusiasts.
Through weekly Monday- and Thursday-morning training throughout the academic year, the museum provides the art history and art education training that aspiring docents will need to successfully make visitors feel welcome as well as enlightened. Spanish language ability is helpful but not required. The Meadows Museum Docent Program seeks a diverse cross section of the community and does not discriminate based upon identity in all of its many forms.
