An exhibition titled "Before the Americas," originally scheduled to open at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, D.C., was canceled after the Trump administration deemed it a DEI program and cut its funding. The show, which surveys work by Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and African American artists from the Greater Washington area, has now opened at Gillespie Gallery at George Mason University School of Art in Fairfax, Virginia, thanks to about 50 to 60 private donors who stepped in to fund it. Curated by Cheryl Edwards, the exhibition features 39 artists from 17 countries, including Amy Sherald, Renee Stout, Alma Thomas, Elizabeth Catlett, and Alonzo Davis, and runs through November 15 before traveling to the University of Maryland Global Campus.

His tenure included a major $230 million expansion in 2023 that doubled the museum's square footage and drew a record 340,000 visitors in the following year. However, his departure follows local media reports that he used a museum loan to help finance his $710,000 home, with the Erie County Comptroller’s Office alleging he failed to repay it and that the loan may violate state nonprofit laws. The museum defended the loan as common in executive recruitment and stated it operates in full compliance with the law.

Spanish culture ministry denies loan of Picasso's Guernica to Bilbao

Spain’s Ministry of Culture has officially rejected a request from the Basque government to loan Pablo Picasso’s 'Guernica' to the Guggenheim Bilbao for an exhibition in 2026. The proposed loan was intended to commemorate the 90th anniversary of both the first Basque government and the 1937 bombing of Gernika. However, Culture Minister Ernest Urtasun cited a conservation report from the Reina Sofía museum warning that the fragile state of the canvas, which suffers from micro-cracks and paint loss, makes any transport a significant risk to its preservation.

Spain’s Culture Minister, Ernest Urtasun, has officially rejected a request from the Basque regional government to temporarily transfer Pablo Picasso’s iconic painting, Guernica, to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. Citing conservation reports from the Museo Reina Sofía, Urtasun argued that the 1937 masterpiece is too fragile to travel and that his primary duty is to preserve the work for future generations. Basque leaders, led by Lehendakari Imanol Pradales and Senator Igotz López, have challenged this decision, calling for an independent feasibility study and appealing directly to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
