from Port City Living · host Billy Corbett

Her work eventually captured the attention of the entire art world. Today her paintings hang in some of the most prestigious museums in the country. This is the story of one of Wilmington's most extraordinary souls — and why her legacy still matters. https://high.org/exhibition/minnie-evans/https://airliegardens.org/https://linktr.ee/portcitylivingnc
