It’s time to kick off the 2026–2027 Art Docent Program, an incredible, hands-on art enrichment experience made possible by parent volunteers like you!
 
Please make sure that your name, email, class and grade are filled out in the attached Art Docent Roster.

What is the Art Docent Program?
Students explore artistic techniques, media (clay, pencil, paint, paper, etc.), and the work of world-renowned artists — all while learning about the elements of art like line, color, shape, and value. It’s creative, interactive, and fun!

We aim to have at least 2 Art Docents per class, and each class will complete 3 art projects during the school year.

New to the program? No problem!
Join us for a quick and friendly training session on Tuesday, 9/29 from 9:30–10:30 am in the West Mercer Library. Our experienced docents will be on hand to share tips, ideas, and answer questions.

Returning Art Docents: If you’re experienced with the program and already feel comfortable with the process and materials, the training is optional. That said, we encourage everyone to attend if you can.  It's a great chance to refresh, hear updates for the year, and connect with fellow docents.

Can’t attend the training? Still sign up! Just add your name at the link below and we’ll follow up with next steps.
