Abstract

The Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park on the campus of Governors State University holds an internationally recognized collection of contemporary sculpture set within a prairie landscape. Understanding the 26 pieces of art, and the meaning and motivations behind the art and the artist, is the work of docents who lead tours and conduct programs.

“As the programs and tour schedule expand, more docents are needed. Docents lead tours, host programs and receptions, and act as ambassadors of the park,” explained Geoff Bates, Director of the NMSP. “We are seeking more volunteer docents to meet the increased need.”
