Docents

A group of visitors listens as a docent discusses the details of a large-scale, colorful painting by Roger Shimomura.
About

Docents are a highly trained volunteer group at all three sites that support public, school, and private group tours. Docents lead thought-provoking tours, engage with visitors, and help SAM in our mission to connect art to life.

SAM is not recruiting docents at this time.

What to know

New docent applications are accepted annually.

Docent training typically requires eight weekly classes and subsequent tour-shadowing before leading in-gallery experiences for visitors.
