About the Lea K. Green Artist Talk
In 2014, the entire Studio Museum family mourned the untimely passing of Lea K. Green, who was the Museums Director of Special Projects from 2006 until 2011. Leas involvement in the life of the Studio Museum continued after her time working here and it is with Lea's incredible service to and love of the Studio Museum in mind that her family and friends have established the Lea K. Green Memorial Endowment Fund. The Fund supports a newly created public program, the Lea K. Green Artist Talk, which brings together exceptional artists and cultural luminaries annually for critical dialogues on art and society. Thanks to the generous support of the Fund, this program is free and open to the public. If youd like to support the Lea K. Green fund, you can do so here:
