Grounds for Sculpture

Grounds For Sculpture (GFS) will expand its volunteer docent training program to double its docent corps and enhance its ability to encourage experiential-based art discovery among museum visitors through guided tours. GFS will conduct four docent training courses comprised of five training sessions and an educational field trip; trainings will include conceptual analysis of Visual Thinking Strategies and Learning Theories, hands-on art workshops, and in-depth consideration of the GFS collection and history. This project will provide an inclusive artistic enrichment opportunity that is singular in the economically strained Trenton area, so that docents may, in turn, have a positive impact GFS education outreach efforts.
