Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College features works by American artists from the 19th through 21st centuries. Randolph College (founded as Randolph-Macon Woman's College) has been collecting American art since 1907 and the Maier Museum of Art now houses its collection of several thousand American paintings, prints, drawings, and photographs from the 19th and 21st centuries.
The Maier hosts an active schedule of special exhibitions and education programs throughout the year.
Randolph-Macon Women's College, founded by William Waugh Smith, was the first women's college in the south. Smith gained support for the college from the River Mont Land Company who donated 20 acres of land in what is now the city Lynchburg, Virginia. Smith raised $100,000 from 150 local residents and founded the College on March 10, 1891, welcoming the first class in 1893 with 36 female students and 12 professors. The art collection was established when the senior class of 1907 commissioned a portrait from William Meritt Chase of William Waugh Smith, the first president of Randolph-Macon Women's College (now Randolph College).
In 1911, Louise Jordan Smith, the college's first professor of art, established an annual exhibition of contemporary art. Since then, the college has purchased at least one work of art the each annual exhibition to add to its collection.
In 2007, Randolph–Macon Women's College became co-ed and was renamed Randolph College. (Source: Wikipedia, 2025)
