The Campaign for the Marion Price Art Gallery at Adkins Arboretum
To address its commitment to celebrating and interpreting nature through art, the new Arboretum Center will include an art gallery dedicated to the memory of artist Marion Price. Marion initiated the art exhibit series at the Arboretum in 1998 and served as its curator until her death on August 19, 2005. She also contributed her sensitive drawings of native plants to illustrate the Arboretum's publications.
An artist, gardener, and gallery owner, Marion was a graduate of Brown University and studied art at the Corcoran School of Art and the Maryland Institute, College of Art.
