NGA Docent Information Session

The Gallery's collection of more than 130,000 paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, sculpture, decorative arts, and furniture traces the development of Western art from the Middle Ages to the present. Special exhibitions are presented throughout the year. The Gallery also offers a free concert series, lectures, tours, film screenings, and a wide range of educational programs and materials for loan.

National Gallery of Art

Bring people and art together. Apply to become a docent at the National Gallery of Art.
Docents give regularly scheduled tours in English and other languages. Tours are designed to introduce visitors to the museum experience and explore different parts of the Gallery’s permanent collection of American and European art in engaging and thought-provoking ways.
The National Gallery of Art is recruiting a new class of docents in fall 2017. After a selection process, a two-year training program will begin in September 2018 and will focus on museum education and art history related to the permanent collection. Workshops, in-gallery sessions, lectures, and readings will be used to advance docent learning. Docents become part of a community of learners and continue their education beyond the initial two-year training period, both formally and informally.
We welcome applicants from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. For those interested in applying to the program, mandatory information meetings will be held in fall 2017. The schedule for these information meetings is listed below. Please select one date to attend.
