Viola E. Bray and Summerfield Galleries
The Year of the Bray (2011–2012) honors the 50th anniversary of Mrs. Viola E. Bray's contribution of Renaissance and Baroque works, along with a unique gallery, to the people of Flint. Commemorating Mrs. Bray's gift and philanthropy, the FIA highlights the works that entered the museum's collections through the generosity of the Bray Charitable Trust, a fund established for the care of art, acquisition of new works, and other cultural endeavors. Francisco Goya's The Death of St. Joseph (1787) and John Singer Sargent's Garden Study of the Vickers Children (1884) are just two of several important works that are on view together to celebrate Mrs. Bray's legacy.
