Drummond is the organizer and curator of the Frames of Reference annual program of artists' film and video. With support from the University of Richmond's Department of Art & Art History, University Museums, and School of Arts & Sciences, Frames of Reference showcases some of the most creative, challenging, thoughtful, and visionary artists working in film, video, and alternative media today. Programs feature artists and artworks that resist conventions and ideologies of mainstream media; explore creative, innovative approaches to narrative and experiments in time-based media; and embrace unique viewpoints, perspectives, or frames of reference.
