Docent Tour


Docent Programme and Guided Tour Service

“Docent” is a word derived from the Latin word “Docere” which means “to teach”. The Docent Programme is a unique programme inviting art lovers to be our ambassadors in connecting the Hong Kong Arts Centre with the general public, nurturing the team spirit of volunteerism and services in the community’s art scene.
 
The professionally trained docents provide delightful interactive tours and art learning activities to audiences ranging from local and international students, community centre groups and overseas art lovers to ethnic minority groups and physical-challenged visitors. The Thematic Guided Tour Services focuses on four themed directions featuring public art, the Hong Kong Arts Centre architectural feature and stories, contemporary art exhibition and art education.
 
Throughout the years, our docents have served over 30,000 overseas and local audiences. Audience reach keeps broadening with more exploration on the Hong Kong Arts Centre and local art scene in various directions.
