Nov. 1, 2023 -- The Paul and Pat Lingle Collection shares the work of 20 artists in the newest exhibition to MacDowell Gallery, which is open today through January 2024.

Paul and Pat Lingle generously gifted a 16-piece collection to the Reid Health Foundation, and Richmond Art Museum (RAM) has loaned an additional four pieces to accompany the exhibition.

"We are pleased Paul and Pat are sharing their appreciation of the arts with the community by providing this gift to the foundation," said Jason Troutwine, Reid Health Vice President/Reid Foundation President. "We also thank RAM for their contributions to the exhibition."

The Paul and Pat Lingle Collection features historic artists from the "Richmond Group" of painters, as well as artists across the region and the United States. Exhibit artists include George Herbert Baker, Martha Bradshaw, John Elwood Bundy, Jean Chambers, India Cruse-Griffin, Shelby Harding, Ruth Leaf, Opal Murphy, Alan Patrick, Fred Pearce, W.

The Lingles are ardent supporters of the arts and initiatives that enhance the quality of life for those living throughout our communities. Additionally, due to their longstanding support, The Paul and Pat Lingle Gallery at RAM hosts a diverse series of exhibitions, available to the public throughout the year.
