Art Exhibit Docent Volunteer Qualifications and Training
The WaterFire Arts Center (WFAC) is always looking for friendly, outgoing people with excellent communication skills and an ability and desire to work with diverse visitors. All docents receive a training session by staff, so an art background is not necessary.
Roles and Responsibilities
Docents also play an integral role in assisting with security and the preservation of all artwork in the space by reminding visitors not to touch pieces or making sure no pieces leave the space. The store staff and EDS (if there is an event) are available to you at any point if you aren’t sure what to do or if you have any questions.
Benefits of Becoming a Docent
Docents participate in satisfying experiences working with all visitors from children, college students, and community members while they expand their understanding of art and are challenged by new ideas.
