Bill > HJR157

This resolution commends the Taubman Museum of Art in Roanoke for its 75 years of promoting American art and artists, providing educational and recreational opportunities, and enriching the cultural life of the Roanoke Valley. The resolution traces the museum's history from its origins in the late 1940s as the Roanoke Fine Arts Center, through its various name changes, to its rebranding in 2008 as the Taubman Museum of Art, named after Nicholas F. Taubman who supported the construction of its distinctive building. It highlights the museum's significant collection of American, contemporary, folk, and regional art, its numerous exhibitions, its commitment to free admission for all visitors since 2012, and its overall dedication to excellence in serving the Roanoke community.
