Davenport’s Figge Art Museum Adds New Painting, ‘The Everyday,’ By Latoya Hobbs, To Permanent Collection
Exciting announcement! Thanks to a major corporate gift from Quad City Bank & Trust, the Figge Art Museum has added The Everyday by artist Latoya Hobbs to its growing permanent collection. The gift was inspired by the Figge’s Diversity and Equity Art Fund, established last year to combat the systemic inequality in the art world.
The Everyday is part of a series done by Hobbs which centers “modern matriarchs” and reinforces the artist’s belief that Black women are the preservers of their families, communities, and culture.
