Fifty years to the day since Winston-Salem and the art world marked the arrival of a small but mighty collection of American paintings, Members of Reynolda House are invited to celebrate the Museum’s anniversary and its visionary founder, Barbara Babcock Millhouse. This milestone will be marked with the publication of a new book, Reynolda: Her Muses, Her Stories, co-authored by David Park Curry and Martha R. Severens. Part chronicle, part memoir, the volume takes readers behind the scenes of the founding and development of the art museum often referred to today as “The Frick of the South.”
To accommodate as many Members as possible, the Museum is offering two opportunities to participate in anniversary events. Both events include one copy of the book per ticket. Weaving the many strands of Reynolda’s story together with inventiveness and humor, Curry and Severens will speak on the fine and decorative arts at Reynolda before joining Barbara Millhouse for a conversation that will invite your questions and observations on the Museum’s first half-century. Ticket purchase is available to Members only. Includes Reynolda: Her Muses, Her Stories.
