This past October, we hosted our first all virtual Fall Smash benefit in support of Edgar Miller Legacy. We thank you for attending our celebration of this wonderful community as we highlighted our past year's successes and share with you our exciting plans for the future.

Edgar Miller Legacy proudly celebrated outstanding members of our community of supporters, educators, and artists. In 2020, we honored our Champion Award Recipient Lisa Stone, former curator of the Roger Brown Study Collection; and our Creative Spirit Award Recipient Lakshmi Ramgopal, artist, writer, historian, and assistant professor at the Department of History at Columbia University.

This virtual event also include conversations on Edgar Miller's art and its social impact over the decades and into the present day with fine art appraiser Clinée Hedspeth; an introduction to our upcoming virtual tour of the Glasner Studio with curators Marin Sullivan and Lisa Stone; highlights from our recent Artist Residencies; and more!
