Are you interested in art? Do you enjoy sharing your passion about art with others? Then consider becoming a docent! Attend an informative gathering where you will learn about SJMA’s two docent groups: volunteers in the Docent Council lead tours in the galleries, while volunteers in Let’s Look at Art give presentations in Santa Clara County school classrooms.
This annual event for pre-K through eighth-grade teachers demonstrates the importance of integrating the arts into classroom curriculum. The conference is co-sponsored by the Connie Lurie College of Education at San José State University and the Santa Clara County Office of Education. It brings together students, teachers, and parents with local artists and arts organizations to share the joy of teaching through the arts.
