Acquavella Distinguished Arts Lecture & Reception - February 12, 2026
5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M.
On Thursday, February 12, Darlene and Jorge Pérez (P '26) will serve as the Acquavella Distinguished Lecturers–an exceptional opportunity for our students and community to be inspired by their perspectives and experiences as admired leaders and philanthropists in the dynamic intersection of art, education and access. Darlene is a member of the Wake Forest Board of Trustees. The program will begin at 5:00 p.m. followed by a reception at 6:00 p.m. Founded by Trustee Alex Acquavella ('03), the biennial Distinguished Lecturer in Arts Management Series invites leading figures in the art market to campus to enrich and inform students and faculty about the timely and relevant connections between art and business. The intent of the series is to illuminate the evolving trends and hear from leaders and influencers in the field.
