Archive Site: Art Show and Exhibit Docent Tours

by John Hertz

These have been popular and fun at recent cons. Some people call them Art Walks.

We've borrowed the word docent from the museum world, where it means a volunteer tour-leader who can point out things worth looking at.

At Millennium Philcon we'll have Art Show docent tours Friday through Sunday, led by pro and fan artists, critics, and other interesting articulate folk. On Thursday and Sunday, there will also be tours of the Fan Exhibits. Here are biographies for some.

Here's our schedule. Look also for a schedule near the Art Show entrance and in the back of the Pocket Program.
