Donate to Peck Portrait Collection
Portrait of a woman by Sheldon peck
The Lombard Historical Society (LHS) Board of Directors has established obtaining original Peck portraits to populate a permanent gallery in the Peck Homestead as a priority in our Collections Policy. Since establishing the Peck Homestead as an exhibit space for his original portraits, the LHS collection has one original painting of Sheldon Pecks. It is the goal of the LHS Board of Management to continue to grow this part of our collection. It is indeed an ambitious agenda but with your help, we can attain this goal!
Donors like you represent the pillars of support for arts-related exhibits, activities, and facilities, without which there would be no Sheldon Peck Footsteps of His Life exhibit. We ask that you lead the way with a generous donation so that Sheldon Peck's paintings may be enjoyed permanently in the original home of this important itinerant artist.
