LEARNING
QAGOMA Learning opens new windows on art for visitors of
every age and level of ability. The Gallery’s dedicated Volunteer
Guides delivered more than 2000 tours to over 10 000 visitors,
and November saw the graduation of 27 new trainee guides who
had completed 100 hours of training and six months’ probation.
Look Out teacher professional development programs continued
to engage teachers directly in the Gallery’s exhibition schedule,
with 230 teachers attending through the year.
