2-Docents: Dennis Condon provides commentary on Edvins Strautmanis’ Phoenix, one of 27 artworks they learn about during the Docent Orientation Program.
3-Docents: As a Docent, you’ll help conduct tours of the park to students like these, from Evergreen High School. The students are engaged and curious about sculpture, art, and 3-dimensional design. You can open their eyes to a new way of looking at the world.
4: Docents help with special events, such as the Summer Sol-A-Bration. Joyce Horath is helping a young artist select materials for their next masterpiece.
5: You’ll be invited to free talks and meet artists like Neil Goodman, shown here during his visit to campus in Fall of 2010.
6-Docent: Docent’s know what’s up in the park and get the first information on the comings and goings of artwork. Here we see Clement Meadmore’s Spiral being returned to a new location after being conserved in Chicago.
7-Docent: There will be opportunities to help the park at development events such as our Carts & Cocktails. Nick Battaglia, a member of the 2008 Docent Class spoke about Illinois Landscape No. 5.
8-Docent: Docents are an integral part of Carts & Cocktails, providing assistance and enjoying the afternoon at the same time.
9-Docent: Just another day of docent-ing. Here’s the view under the tent at Carts&Cocktails.
