Midland Center for the Arts announces they will honor Alden B. Dow’s legacy and vision with the name of its reimagined museum: HALL OF IDEAS, a permanent, interactive museum experience designed to celebrate creativity, discovery and the belief that every person has the power to imagine, experiment and create. The name was created by Alden B. Dow for the original three tiers of interactive art and science displays in the museum when the building opened in 1971. The name will now encompass all levels of the newly renovated museum.

Honoring Anita Louise Horne Jenkins
For Anita Louise Horne Jenkins, the arts were essential to both the individual and the community. A way for people to expand their universe and feel connected and a sense of belonging. That belief shaped her philanthropy at Midland Center for the Arts, including the support she and her husband, Jim, provided to bring our region’s premiere of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to Midland Center in 2024. It was a milestone for our region, and a moment Anita cared deeply about: world-class artistry, cultural celebration, and community all in one night.
