Art on the Dot is the NCMA’s newest tour offering! Beginning in August 2025, we encourage you to join a docent in the galleries for a bite-sized tour experience and to engage with about three works of art for 30 minutes. Each weekend morning, a docent conducts three rounds of these 30-minute tours. You can expect a 15-minute break between each round. We hope you enjoy one, two, or all three rounds and come back another day to see what the next docent includes.
