you are invited to docent training

To all ARC volunteers,

Here is the fall schedule for docent training, and you are welcome to attend any of the training sessions if you are interested – the introductions and gallery talks by curators or artists are probably more relevant to you than the “workshops”. Elsie Claypool suggested that it would be useful for ARC volunteers since they get asked a lot of questions about the exhibitions. And you can just show up at the trainings – there is no need to RSVP – and you don’t need to sign the attendance sheet.
