Randolph College students who love art and the Maier Museum should visit the FRAME table at the Involvement Fair on Wednesday, September 8, from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in Bell Quad (rain location: Smith Banquet Hall) to learn more about joining FRAME.
FRAME (Future Restorationists, Artists, and Museum Enthusiasts) is a student volunteer organization that focuses on the College’s excellent collection of American art and provides a valuable service to the Randolph College and Lynchburg communities. Through the club, students broaden their knowledge of art and art history, learn the field of museum education, and develop communication and public speaking skills.
Randolph College FRAME members assisting at the Maier Museum family program
FRAME docents volunteers lead tours for Museum visitors and host receptions and special museum events. They assist with or observe 2nd and 5th grade school tours led by community docents, family programs, preschool programs, and middle and high school tours.
FRAME members receive an inside view of museums by working with the Museum staff through a series of training sessions on the permanent collection, and an introduction to touring techniques.
FRAME also frequents local art openings and cultural events, and has made connections with similar clubs on other campuses in the region, such as Hampden-Sydney College. While many of the members are art majors, others are not. FRAME gives students who love art great opportunities to be involved at the Maier without the academic commitment of a major.
The Maier Museum is a great resource for both the Randolph College community and the Lynchburg community at large. FRAME helps to get the word out.
