The next meeting of the Roundtable is at noon, Thursday, October 17th, at the Capital City Club downtown. Attendance is limited to members and guests of members only.
Our speaker is Randall Suffolk, the director of the High Museum of Art, the leading art museum in the southeastern United States. Mr. Suffolk came to the High in 2015 and has championed a renewed commitment to community engagement, placing emphasis on collaboration, inclusivity and access. To support these objectives, the Museum has reduced admission fees, added important artworks to the permanent collection, and developed programs and partnerships.
Previously, Mr. Suffolk was the director of the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His institutional strategy at the Philbrook was nationally recognized by the American Alliance of Museums.
Mr. Suffolk was born in Ohio and moved to Italy with his family as a teenager. He spent four years in Rome, an experience that opened his eyes to art, culture and history. He earned a master’s in art history at Bryn Mawr College and a master’s in higher education administration from Columbia University.
