Docent Program

Swope docents are trained volunteer educators who facilitate the experience of visitors in the Swope’s permanent collection and special exhibitions. Docents guide visitors of all ages on inquiry-based tours designed to expand the visitors’ experience with an appreciation for art.

Prior knowledge about art is not required to become a docent. You simply need to have an enthusiasm for learning and sharing with others. For more information about the docent program, please email Emily Bennett, Director of Education, at Bennett@Swope.org, or call 812.238.1676 x 130.
