The Danville Museum of Fine Arts and History would like to announce the Camilla Williams exhibition, made possible through a generous Make More Happen Grant from the Danville Regional Foundation. The Camilla Williams exhibition highlights the relationship this New York City Opera diva had with her hometown Danville, and explores the difficult path to fame in a racially divided South during the Civil Rights protests.
