Bicentennial Art Commission dedication
As part of the Conference of the Council of Lafayette Women, the College will dedicate the Bicentennial Art Commission, a bust of Adrienne—the final work of world-renowned artist Audrey Flack. While Adrienne’s husband became involved in French politics, she was working hard to further the cause of abolition and human rights. The bust will be dedicated as part of the closing of the conference.
