FRAME (Future Restorationists, Artists, and Museum Enthusiasiasts)
Student Docents at the Maier Museum of Art

Future Restorationists, Artists, and Museum Enthusiasts (FRAME) 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.

FRAME docents lead tours for Museum visitors and host receptions and special museum events such as Music at the Maier. They assist with or observe 2^nd and 5^th grade school tours led by community docents, family programs, pre-school 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.
