I&#8217;ve had the fantastic opportunity to engage with students and staff, and starting May of 2025, I became President of the organization. In addition, I currently serve as the Fred W. Hicks Curatorial Fellow, which has allowed my involvement and relationship with the Rollins Museum of Art to deepen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What about Rollins Museum of Art inspired you to work here<\/strong>?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b2d736397fc7748f25165b618fff7e2e\" style=\"font-size:19px\">The moment I first stepped foot in the Rollins Museum of Art, I was already inspired. From the incredible staff I met before beginning my fellowship to the small, meaningful moments I&#8217;ve had with pieces in past exhibitions, my experiences have all motivated me to work here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Were you interested in the arts as a child?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19cfa2d24b87bc9d296ae005a039276d\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Yes! I have always been an artistic person, whether through personal creation or keen observation. While I didn&#8217;t start my interest in the arts knowing I wanted to work in a place exactly like the RMA, visits as a child to museums in my local communities and during travel were so wonderful&nbsp;and really brought out my curiosity and love for the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What aspect of the job have you enjoyed the most?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:37% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Avryl-working.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3502 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ccc270010d57c59fc20bf005d8f8e425\" style=\"font-size:19px\">The Fred W. Hicks Fellowship culminates in a Capstone Exhibition that will be on view during the summer of 2026. The research, writing, and exploration I have done for this exhibition has brought so much joy to this experience and has really stuck with me. I&#8217;ve met so many wonderful people through this work, and it has been one of the most exciting parts of the job.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What aspect of the job did you find the most challenging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3aab0921a9e9c691b35a8c406319feb3\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Similar to the aspect I&#8217;ve enjoyed the most, the Capstone Exhibition is a project on a scale I&#8217;ve never done before now. As a year-long project, it took time, commitment, and hard work to set a good foundation for the exhibition. While different from my previous experiences, it has been wonderful to explore new paths and challenge myself in different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are your career aspirations?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7bb9827f96258ac4ef31d54ea333f4a1\" style=\"font-size:19px\">One of the best parts of this experience relates to the opportunities it has opened up to learn about different museum departments and functions that all contribute to what the public sees when they walk into a space. After graduation, I aspire to continue working in a museum setting, exploring different roles and experiences, and eventually continue on to pursue further education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you have a favorite Rollins Museum of Art experience?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b2ed2762aa58d99faa31a60454d8cf4e\" style=\"font-size:19px\">So many of my experiences during this fellowship have been impactful, but one that stuck out to me comes from my first week when I truly became immersed in the curatorial team&#8217;s work at the museum. I was doing research on the collection, talking to staff and learning about everyone&#8217;s roles, and it just felt like a &#8216;pinch-me&#8217; moment that I was actually here and doing the work I was so excited to learn about. Definitely a favorite part of this experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:38% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Giving-Day-26-Avryl-logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3488 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You Make the Difference!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55a7fbbeed55aca45b8d28d55aafa139\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Support Rollins Museum of Art on Giving Day (February 19, 2026) to help ensure the museum remains a place for students like Avryl, to learn and grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2d2d255475b5f58a1b653b93f5853b93\" style=\"font-size:19px\"><strong>Amplify your impact.<\/strong>&nbsp;When&nbsp;<strong>50 donors<\/strong>&nbsp;give to the Rollins Museum of Art, the Stine Foundation will donate&nbsp;<strong>$25,000<\/strong>&nbsp;to the museum\u2014supporting exhibitions, programming, and public access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.givecampus.com\/schools\/RollinsCollege\/rollins-giving-day-2026\/pages\/rma\/?a=11994829&amp;campaign_view=true\">Give Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em><strong>The Captivating Unknown: Charting Our Relationship with the Cosmos<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"989\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Churchman-2021.1.18-Large.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3487 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a4b41b2515610dbcc7bb0d774ffc7f61\" style=\"font-size:19px\">Be sure to experience Avryl&#8217;s Capstone Exhibition <em>The Captivating Unknown: Charting Our Relationship with the Cosmos<\/em> opening in May 2026 at Rollins Museum of Art.
