An exhibition titled "Docents on the Wall" was held at the Present Day Club in Princeton, NJ, featuring artwork created by docents from the Princeton University Art Museum. The show included paintings, photographs, weaving, and collage by participating artists Laura Berlik, Hetty Baiz, Dee Gozonsky, Judy Langille, Denise McDaniel, Elizabeth Quatrano, Ellen Rogers, Connie Shaffer, and Adria Sherman. Notable works included Denise McDaniel's "Nassau Hall" and Hetty Baiz's richly textured piece.
The exhibition matters because it highlights the creative talents of museum docents, who typically serve as educators and guides for visitors. By showcasing their own art, the event underscores the dual role of docents as both knowledgeable interpreters of masterworks and practicing artists themselves, deepening public appreciation for the individuals who make museum experiences more accessible and engaging.
