Several days ago, Beck Cultural Exchange Center president Reneé Kesler gave a poignant interview to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
She explained that progress on the renovation of the Delaney family home, which is adjacent to the Beck Cultural Exchange Center and destined to become the Delaney Museum at Beck, has been much delayed due to skyrocketing expenses ...
... and has kicked off a new round of fundraising to bring in the additional $2.3 million required to complete the project.
Les Amis has written about the Delaney Museum at Beck a few times:
Groundbreaking for the Delaney Museum at Beck
The Delaney Museum at Beck: Groundbreaking Ceremony Scheduled for August 30
The Art of Delaney: Redeeming, Reconciling, and Healing
The Wells International Foundation, the U.S. nonprofit organization that mounted the Resonance of Form and Vibration of Color exhibition in Paris in collaboration with Les Amis in 2016, looks forward to hosting events that focus on Beauford's artistic practice as a tool for combatting his mental instability in Knoxville soon after the museum's opening.
The new projected opening date is May 15, 2025.
