As docent applications start to roll in, now seems like a great time to open the floor to some current members with a Docent Spotlight!! 🔦

Introducing Annabelle Nee, a second-year English and History major who just recently finished her docent training course last semester! Swipe through to hear all about why she joined docents (and why you should too!!) ➡️➡️➡️
Outside of the Fralin, Annabelle is an archivist for The Cavalier Daily, a member of The Jefferson Society, an admissions intern, and works at WTJU! She is also a resident of Brown College. We love you Annabelle!

What even IS a docent anyway? 🤔
Our tours are more than just info dumps — docents inspire and invite conversation over original works of art in the collection. We want to hear about what YOU see, think, and wonder!! 👀💭

All of this sound good to you? You’re in luck!! Not only do applications open TOMORROW, but you can join us at the Fralin Museum (155 Rugby Rd) on FRIDAY, FEB. 13 at 6:15 p.m. for a Valentine’s Craft Night! 💌 This is a great opportunity to meet current docents as well as check off part of your application requirement — we hope to see you there!! 🫵🫵
