Show 0 0 C E J\J T O JJ.\ LO C:i UE ( The Utah Museum of Fine Arts A Message from the Curator It was a wonderful experience to watch all the Docents teaching during the time I was doing evaluations. Often in the field of Museum Education we rely on our instincts without substantiating what we know. So it was enriching to have my opinion that the Docents were a professional and effective group of communicators .affirmed by objective measurements. DOCENT MEETING The Docent Meet4ng for April will be on the 15th when we will be going on our field trip to Springville. This will be a combined trip with the volunteers from other areas of the Museum and staff. Vern Swanson, the Director of the Springville Museum of Art, will speak to us on the annual exhibition of Utah artists' work at 11 :00 a.m. and we will have a box lunch afterwards. The cost will be $12.50 for the bus and a box lunch or $7.50 for the boxed lunch if you prefer to car pool.
