The Nicolaysen Art Museum offers the Student Docent Program, a unique, interdisciplinary educational program for area schools.
Here’s how the program works:
- Students come to the museum after school and work with teachers and our education curators, learning about our changing exhibitions of contemporary art.
- Led by the Curator of Education, Nic Museum Docents, and sometimes the artists themselves, the learning sessions are focused on visual thinking exercises that the students then share with their classmates on a school field trip to the museum.
- Students complete five training sessions at the Museum after school. Within two weeks of their final training, the student docents lead their classmates and teachers through the museum on a class visit, teaching their peers what they have learned about the exhibition.
- Training sessions take place at The Nicolaysen Art Museum once a week Thanks to a grant from The Ellbogen Foundation ,Rocky Mountain Energy, Kinsky Family Foundation, Myra Fox Skelton, Goodstein Foundation this program is of no cost to you.
- Students are picked up at their school and transported by CATC to the museum. We provide after school snacks.
We usually have 5 to 10 students in one 5 week group. If you are a teacher and would like your students to participate in this program please call Linda at 235-5247.
