EDUCATION

On March 3, 2009, the Georgia Museum of Art broke ground on its Phase II expansion and launched GMOA on the Move, a state- and nationwide initiative of offsite programs and exhibitions. Due to construction, the museum offices are currently located in the former visual arts building on Jackson Street on UGA's North Campus. Although the galleries and shop are temporarily closed, special calendar events are still open to the public, and gift items are available from our new Web shop. Please visit the museum's virtual galleries in Second Life and view the calendar for a complete listing of GMOA on the Move events.

The Georgia Museum of Art is scheduled to reopen in early 2011.

• Scheduling a Docent?
  The Georgia Museum of Art's docent corps is a specially trained group of volunteers who lead tours of the museum's permanent collection and temporary exhibition galleries. During construction, our docents will lead offsite exhibition tours as well as suitcase tours, field trips, programs featuring paintings, printmaking and sculpture, continuing education programs, book club and other special interest groups. The next Docent Education session will start in September 2010 in preparation for the museum's grand opening in 2011. Docent tours add a new dimension to the works by offering background information and offering new ways of looking at art. To learn more about docent-led tours please email Carissa DiCindio or call (706) 542-4662.
• Scheduling a Group Tour?
  Each docent tour is tailored to your group's particular needs and interests. Special accommodations can also be made for the hearing-impaired. To learn more about group tours please email Carissa DiCindio or call (706) 542-4662.
