The Heritage Society continues its popular Facebook Live! series with a special conversation featuring author and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston scholar Linda Dodge. This program builds on the success of March’s Lunch & Learn, where Dodge captivated audiences with her exploration of A Museum Is Born and the influential role of Emma Richardson Cherry in shaping Houston’s early arts community.

Now, she joins Mister McKinney of Mister McKinney’s Historic Houston for an engaging virtual discussion that brings Houston’s art history directly to viewers at home.

About the Program

Linda Dodge’s research illuminates the remarkable grassroots effort that led to the founding of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Her work highlights how teachers, civic leaders, artists, and women’s organizations—including the Public School Art League—built a museum “erected by the people, for the use of the people.”
