Tang Guides, many of whom are Skidmore College students, are trained gallery ambassadors and tour guides. Through this program, they are introduced to the Tang and the museum world, and trained to give tours, while gaining valuable real-world experiences interacting with visitors.
The background pattern is composed from the Tang dingbat,
an abstracted diagram of the building. The four steps of
the dingbat, like the four letters of Tang, symbolize
thought, learning, and aspiration.
