The Docentitos Academy trains youths ages 9–12 years to be Weston Art Gallery docents.
During this fun-filled, two-week summer camp, students meet the artists and go behind the scenes of exhibitions to learn the inspiration and installation work that goes into creating a show. Daily activities include classes, artist talks, tours of the Aronoff Center’s Theaters, Museum visits, installation and studio visits, and a final project. Upon graduating, students lead tours of the gallery’s summer exhibitions.
