Help Spread the Joy of Art! Be a Somerville Art Docent!

Art Docent is your chance to volunteer in your child’s classroom to teach about a famous artist, a cultural craft, or a topic meaningful to your family.  Each presentation/activity will last 20 minutes, the majority of which is the kids creating their project.  You can create a simple slideshow, read a book, and/or demonstrate the activity. The HSA has art supplies for your use right in the school. No experience necessary!

Our Art Docent Co-Chairs will help you with ideas and organizing.  We will also host several information sessions to help you prepare.


The first informational session is this Friday Oct 12th @ 2:15 pm in the Somerville Library. There will also be a Zoom option available for this meeting.
