It is known for its stellar collections, superb educational programs, scholarship opportunities, statewide outreach, and sound management and financial practices.

VMFA is focused on being a vibrant and energetic institution that is accessible with a strong connection to the community. VMFA embraces an audience-centered philosophy and aims to lead the nation in innovative approaches to visitor and donor engagement.

VMFA continues to receive national attention for its exciting and exclusive exhibitions. Most recently, VMFA became the only museum in the world to exhibit Forbidden City: Imperial Treasures from the Palace Museum, Beijing. This exhibition is part of a groundbreaking exchange between the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace Museum – a series of collaborative projects between 2011 and 2016 that include exhibition and staff exchange in the areas of administration, curatorship, conservation, education, and security.

To support this vision, VMFA is seeking a seasoned Manger of Individual Giving.
