A Transformative Gift: The Rockefeller Legacy and the Arts in Arkansas
Then called the Museum of Fine Arts, AMFA received a gift: the monumental painting Dos Mujeres (Two Women) by Diego Rivera. When the painting entered the collection, it marked the beginning of a new era for the museum.
Governor Rockefeller, a visionary dedicated to advancing art and culture as a foundation for Arkansas industry and education, encouraged his sister to give this transformational gift, which inspired generations of Rockefeller and other family donations to follow.
As part of Rivera’s Paris, please join Dr. John A. Kirk, George W. Donaghey Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, to explore this history, the impact of Dos Mujeres on art in Arkansas, and the enduring legacy of the Rockefellers’ philanthropic efforts in the state.
Live open captioning is provided during this event.
After the lecture, enjoy brunch at AMFA’s Park Grill. Space is limited. To make reservations, contact: 501-396-0390 or [email protected].
