MacNIDER ARTS FESTIVAL
We are looking for Volunteers for our MacNider Arts Festival in June! The 2010 Arts Festival will be held Saturday, June 12. If you or your business is interested in helping out, please call 641-421-3666.

We have many different areas to work in:
- Art Activities
- Art Market
- Food
- Set-up

Volunteering is a great way to meet others and to get in on the fun. It is also a wonderful way for your business to get involved in the community (groups are encouraged to wear matching company t-shirts).

 

MUSEUM DOCENT
Just what is a docent and what do they do? A docent is a trained volunteer educator who guides children and adults through a museum. The Latin word, "docere" from which docent is derived, means "to teach". The MacNider Art Museum is always happy to welcome new members to the dedicated group of docents who currently give tours to school and community groups. Docenting is a great way to stimulate your mind, meet new people, give to the community, and just have a good time. Our current corps of docents are a lively and interesting group of men and women who do just that! An art background is not required, only a desire to learn about our collection of American art and an interest in sharing your knowledge with the public.

E-mail Linda Willeke, Coordinator of Education, or call 641-421-3666 for more information.
