School is out for the summer! It’s amazing how quickly this busy year flew by. We’d like to take a moment to celebrate some of the accomplishments of this year, and look ahead to some of the highlights for next year.
Museum Visits
- During the course of the year, we provided docent-guided tours to approximately 37,352 people.
- The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibition brought in the most docent-guided and self-guided groups with a whopping 11,455 visitors.
- This fall, we anticipate a large number of group tours for The Legacy of the Plumed Serpent in Ancient Mexico exhibition. We begin taking requests for the 2012-2013 school year on August 1st, so don’t forget to sign up!

Go van Gogh Classroom Visits
- Go van Gogh staff and volunteers taught 324 programs this year to 6,930 students in Dallas classrooms.
- Outside of Dallas, 332 Go van Gogh programs were taught to 6,973 students.
- Looking ahead, I most look forward to teaching Impressions of Dallas, our newest summer library program celebrating the Flower of the Prairie: George Grosz in Dallas exhibition.
Thank you docents, Go van Gogh volunteers, students, and teachers, for a wonderful year!
