BECOME A TOUR GUIDE
Join the ranks of a dynamic group of volunteers committed to helping visitors explore and experience the Walker's collections and special exhibitions. Two separate classes will be offered through the Investigating Modern Art lecture series (see above). Guides who are available during weekdays will receive training specifically for working with student groups, while evening and weekend guides focus on touring with adults. A background in art history or studio art is helpful but not required. Enthusiasm for contemporary art, however, is essential. For more information, call 612.375.7574 or check out the Tour Guide Training press release (7 July 1999).
