Moderator is Joyce Goss, Phillips Regional Director, Texas.  Jenny and Richard Mullen are honorary chairs.

Slated for Monday, October 21, 2024 the featured speakers will discuss how art is valued and how to create a more exciting, thoughtful connection with works of art when artworks enter the most important space in our lives – our home. From the perspective of their roles in the art world, they will share their insight about the practical matters of acquiring and owning art, as well as the bigger question of how a relationship with art might evolve and deepen over time.
