The Millicent Rogers Museum is very excited to announce that we will be presenting an exhibition of the work of the honorable Dorothy Brett in the summer of 2024! Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of her arrival in New Mexico, this show will focus on Brett’s role as an unique and vibrant member of the Taos community.

In the theme of community, we are looking for stories and Brett paintings to include in the exhibition. We are inviting you, members and friends of the Museum, to tell your stories of Dorothy Brett! If you, or your friends and family, have any particular memories of Brett to share please get in touch with our Curator, Claire Motsinger, at claire@millicentrogers.org. Also, please reach out if you own a painting by Brett that you would like to loan for the purposes of the show. We look forward to speaking with you!
