The Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore was given a $1 million gift to establish a chair in painting, a position that will bring visiting faculty to the school for long-term residencies and recognizes the accomplishments of the current staff.

Donating the money was Genevieve McMillan, a friend of the college and resident of Cambridge, Mass. The official name of the position she has created with her donation will be The Genevieve McMillan/Reba Stewart Chair in Painting.
