Frank Lloyd Wright Volunteer Training in June (original) (raw)

Architecture Wed May 20 2009

Attention armchair architects: the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust kicks off volunteer training for the Oak Park Home and Studio and Robie House this June. The program prepares you to be a tour guide (they call it "interpreter") or museum shop volunteer: the Trust imparts you with in-depth knowledge about Wright, architecture, the surrounding neighborhoods (the Robie House is located in Hyde Park), and how to tell all that to visitors without sounding like a docent drone.

The training sessions for the Oak Park Home and Studio are conducted on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Saturday all day for two weeks beginning June 2nd. Training for the Robie House takes place on the same schedule starting June 16th.
