Job Summary:

The San Antonio Museum of Art welcomes friendly people who enjoy engaging in dialogue with a variety of museum patrons of all ages, especially school-aged children. Docents must have a sincere interest in art and history (though no formal background is required in either subject area), as well as a passion for lifelong-learning and education.

Becoming a docent is a commitment, and each biannual class is carefully selected. Docents commit to a minimum of three years of service, including two years of weekly training during the academic year (Mondays, September-May, 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.).

Interviews: Before being accepted into the Docent Program, candidates participate in an interview with current San Antonio Museum of Art docents and Education Department staff.

Orientation and Training: New docents who are selected for the program must attend a three-day New Docent Orientation (Monday, September 14-Wednesday, September 16, 2026). Following orientation, weekly training classes are held on Mondays from 10:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. throughout the academic year (September-May). Training focuses on the Museum's collection, age-appropriate tour techniques, inquiry methods, and gallery activities.

Responsibilities and Duties:

Time commitment: Candidates must be able to commit at least three years to the program.

Year 1: Participate in weekly training sessions. Select touring opportunities become available as docents progress through first-year training.
Year 2: Participate in weekly training sessions with an increased emphasis on leading PK-12 school tours during the academic year.
Year 3+: Participate in monthly continuing education sessions and lead at least four PK-12 school tours each academic year.

Qualifications:

Docents must be flexible, friendly, and have a sincere interest in art and history (though no formal background is required in either subject area). Docents should also possess a passion for lifelong learning and education. With the aid of weekly training sessions, new docents must become proficient in all school tour themes offered by the Education Department, covering every collection area in the Museum.

Walking, bending, climbing, stooping, and lifting up to 35 pounds.
Must be able to sit and stand for long periods of time.
Physical ability to climb stairs and work in a multi-level building.

Email Access: Docents must maintain email contact and internet access.

More information on becoming a member can be found here: https://www.samuseum.org/join-and-give/memberships/become-a-member/

Dues: The San Antonio Museum of Art Docent Association charges annual dues of $35 to support continuing education, docent events, recognitions, etc. New docents are not responsible for paying Docent Association dues until the beginning of their third year in the Docent Program.
