The Council of VMFA has been an important resource for the Museum since its early years. It led the way in
opening the VMFA Shop, establishing the docent program, and organizing Museum travel, as well as providing seed money for the library. The Council continues to provide volunteer assistance in many areas of the Museum’s operations. Council members also develop and implement fundraising events, including the highly successful Fine Arts & Flowers, which currently supports VMFA exhibitions and in the past has supported other efforts such as the FabergĂ© exhibit and the Artmobile.

The Council provides volunteer assistance in many areas of the Museum's operations. Being an art expert is not a requirement 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.
