The
Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA)
is seeking candidates for Volunteer and Docent training. The program will feature instruction in Native American art and the workings of a major museum that will enable successful participants to provide valuable services to visitors to the museum. After completing the program, volunteers will have the opportunity to interact with the public and contribute their talents, knowledge, skills and energy. Volunteers and Docents at MoCNA learn, share, and contribute -- providing and invaluable service to the IAIA community.
IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts Director Patsy Phillips (Cherokee Nation) remarked "Volunteers and Docents are core to MoCNA's success. We are so grateful for their support as they help us in every aspect of the museum. Serving as a Volunteer or Docent at MoCNA is a great way to learn about Native America and specifically contemporary Native arts from museum professionals who have worked in the field for decades. Staff can assist Volunteers and Docents in finding their interest while they learn about diversity among local, national, and international Indigenous contemporary cultures and arts. With experience and knowledge over time, we look to Volunteers and Docents to advocate for not only the museum and contemporary Native arts, but for Indigenous Peoples."
Volunteer Training will be held October 16, 2018 through November 6, 2018.
Docent Training will be held October 16, 2018 through January 29, 2018
