The Marilyn Lichtman Distinguished Speaker Series

The Marilyn Lichtman Distinguished Speaker Series is supported by The Lichtman Fund, established in Marilyn's honor by her son and daughter-in-law, David Lichtman and Margaret Mak.

"For twenty-five years The Kreeger Museum has shared art, architecture, and music with the Washington community. The Marilyn Lichtman Distinguished Speaker Series honors the vision of Carmen and David Lloyd Kreeger and enables us to provide a forum to discuss and explore the role and influence of the arts in our lives. We are extremely grateful to Marilyn, David, and Margaret for their generosity in making this series possible." - Helen Chason, Director
