SUMMARY:AMFA Art Salon
DESCRIPTION:Great artistic minds come together during a social gathering inspired by 20th-century salons in the era of Rivera’s Paris. Full of creative exchange and open dialogue\, these intimate and exciting spaces once invited artists and philosophers alike to debate and dine as one – but now\, you get to join in on the fun.  \nTwo of AMFA’s Windgate Art School instructors specializing in different disciplines are paired together each evening to discuss their artistic inspirations and creative processes\, offering guests an opportunity to engage in passionate discussions and gain new perspectives and philosophies on art. \nThis evening’s event explores glass and woodworking – we hope to see you there! \n\nAMFA Art Salon is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation and the Windgate Foundation. \nRivera’s Paris is supported in part by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts Foundation with additional support from the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts. \nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \nWindgate Art School’s Reduced Tuition Program is supported by Michael Laughter. Reduced tuition is automatically applied to all classes through 2025. \nImage courtesy of Jason Masters. \n

SUMMARY:A Transformative Gift: The Rockefeller Legacy and the Arts in Arkansas
DESCRIPTION:In 1955\, Abby Rockefeller Mauzé—daughter of John D. Rockefeller\, Jr.\, sister of future Governor Winthrop Rockefeller\, and sister-in-law of future Arkansas First Lady Jeannette Edris Rockefeller (pictured above)—made a significant gift to the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts\, then called the Museum of Fine Arts: 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. \n\n\n\nGovernor 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. \n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\nLive open captioning is provided during this event. \n\n\n\nAfter the lecture\, enjoy lunch at AMFA’s Park Grill. Space is limited. To make reservations\, contact: 501-396-0390 or parkgrill@arkmfa.org. \n\n\n\nAbout John Kirk\n\nJohn A. Kirk is the George W. Donaghey Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
