An art gallery at Arkansas State University will get a new name and a new look thanks to a gift from a Little Rock couple. The university says the Bradbury Gallery will now be known as the Bradbury Art Museum.
The 5,200-square-foot exhibition space has been redesigned to create five separate galleries where collections of artwork will be shown on a rotating basis. The change at the facility is thanks to a $500,000 matching challenge gift from Curt and Chucki Bradbury of Little Rock.
Curt Bradbury is chief operating officer of Stephens Inc. in Little Rock, and Chucki Bradbury is the 2014-2015 chairwoman of the Arkansas Arts Center's Board of Trustees.
Chancellor Tim Hudson announced the gift during a reception Tuesday night at the ASU System Office in Little Rock.
