The Alexander Arts Lecture, to be held each fall in the Community Meeting Room of the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum, is an Endowed Lecture Series focused on American Art in honor of the extraordinary contributions of Patty and Welborn Alexander, founding members of the Museum. The endowment was established through gifts by members of the Museum’s Board of Trustees in 2012. The goal of this lecture is to engage diverse audiences and create a cultural dialogue, thereby enriching the lives of the participants with current perspectives in the visual arts.
