Museum Guides

The Dayton Art Institute offers engaging, creative gallery experiences for visitors of all ages. Museum Guide Volunteers play a key role in bringing those experiences to life by helping guests connect with art in meaningful and memorable ways.

Guides lead Art + Core Connections (A+CC) tours for K–12 students and community tours for guests, creating welcoming, conversation-based experiences in the galleries.
