Former Gov. Mike Beebe Donates V. L. Cox Artwork to Bradbury Art Museum

Former Arkansas governor Mike Beebe has donated “Beau,” an artwork by V. L. Cox, to the permanent collection of Arkansas State University’s Bradbury Art Museum in Jonesboro. The piece is part of Cox’s “Images of the American South” series, developed over more than three decades and registered with the Library of Congress. Museum director Julia Wintner said the series uses historical objects to explore memory and the region’s social history.
