Masterpiece Makeover

We launched Masterpiece Makeover last winter to raise money to restore a portrait of Henry Cumming and are pleased to report that we met our goal of $5,000. This painting is currently at the conservator thanks to Nelson A. Danish, Mr. and Mrs. William S. Morris IV, Dr. Lee Ann Caldwell, Ms. Fredericka M. Flynt, Pamela Dorminey-Uros and Nick Uros, and Sharon Campbell.

The Masterpiece Makeover program, which directs donations to the restoration of a specified work of art, continues this year with The Emerald Shawl, by Henry Salem Hubbell. Its restoration includes cleaning the paint surface, removing discolored varnish, relining and restretching the canvas, repairing areas of paint loss in the surface, revarnishing, and attaching a protective backing board.

Our goal is to raise $4,000, which will go directly to the restoration of this painting.
