The Frist Center for the Visual Arts is fortunate to have the advice and counsel of an engaged board of trustees, the members of which advise Frist Center staff. The members of this outstanding and accomplished body have been instrumental in setting the strategic direction and charting the course of the institution.
The board of trustees is supported by a body of advisory councils that are invaluable in education, marketing, community outreach, and development resources. These committed volunteers make themselves available to staff to offer advice, advocate for the Frist Center, and act as sounding boards for matters large and small.
