Pulse Perspectives AGWA Adjunct Guides
In 2020, for the first time, AGWA has introduced guided tours of Pulse Perspectives. To bring a youth perspective to our tours, the AGWA Guides have invited young people to train as ‘Adjunct Guides’ to co-share tours with us.

For this year's program, a number of youth guides aged 20-25 years, will participate in guided tours in an Adjunct Guides Pilot Program giving visitors a welcomed youth perspective on the work of the young artists on display.
