The National Council helps position the Rollins Museum of Art as a thought leader in the national conversation about the role of art engagement within a liberal arts education. Council members – leaders in the arts including museum directors, art advisors and scholars, artists, critics, collectors, and gallery owners – serve as a brain trust for the leadership of RMA as they advise on strategy for the new museum.

Liz Parks, principal of Parks Art Advisory and member of the Museum’s Board of Visitors serves as Board liaison and, together with Bruce A. Beal Director Ena Heller and Consulting Curator Abigail Ross Goodman, as convener of the Council.
