Curated Conversations
Event Details
As we all know, a really good guide can turn any activity into an adventure. Exceptional explainers and stellar storytellers, the Blanton’s gallery teachers (docents) bring the art to life for thousands of visitors each year. Join us as several gallery teachers discuss what it takes to be a docent, tell of humorous and heartwarming encounters with visitors, and share more about their rewarding work. Hosted by Stephanie Kent, the Blanton’s manager of docents and tours.
