Be a key member of the Ogden team by serving as a Docent!

An Ogden Museum of Southern Art Docent is a volunteer who leads tours helping visitors to the Museum “See the South” through the visual arts and in context of literature, music, food and more. Prospective docents should have an interest in art and Southern culture and a desire to interact with adults and children, helping them discover their own interpretations of art.

This spring, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art will hold training sessions for interested in becoming a volunteer Docent. Training session will take place on six consecutive Wednesdays (January 11, 18, 25, February 1, 8, 15) from 10AM to 12PM. Interested docents should attend all sessions. Training will include techniques and strategies for engaging museum visitors in meaningful explorations of works of art in the collection and in special exhibitions.
