The Council

Be part of an exciting and active volunteer group at VMFA! The Council of VMFA provides time, talent and fundraising to support the museum. This group sponsors fundraising events, including the highly successful Fine Arts & Flowers, and provides volunteers for many other areas of the museum.

You can find out more about The Council and the expansion project at VMFA with “The New VMFA – Expect to be Wowed,” a program presented by Council members.

You don’t have to be an art expert to volunteer at the museum. The Council volunteers support VMFA with their time, talents and love of art. Council members must be a member of the museum and are also expected to contribute their time on a regular basis.
