On November 15 and 16, 2025, The Bingham Trust, in conjunction with the Saint Louis Art Museum, hosted a two-day symposium on George Caleb Bingham that honored and celebrated the 50th anniversary of Missouri Governor Christopher S. Bond's public subscription campaign to acquire 112 preliminary drawings for Bingham genre paintings. The event was free. This symposium explored the connection between Bingham?s life as an artist and a politician, how those two existences are intimately intertwined, and how his work continues to be relevant to our nation today. Chaired by Andrew Walker, executive director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, speakers included Claire Barry, emeritus director of conservation at the Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, Texas; Amy Torbert, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Associate Curator of American Art at the Saint Louis Art Museum; Joan E. Stack, curator of art collections at the State Historical Society of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri; and Charles E. Valier, chairman of The Bingham Trust.

The Trust holds 113 original preparatory drawings by George Caleb Bingham and 12 related engravings after Bingham's paintings in trust for the People of Missouri who contributed to the fund that enabled the purchases. The Trust, in partnership with the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City stored, conserved, collaborated with scholars to interpret, and lent the works to public museums in the U.S. to exhibit the drawings. The two museums provided these services to the Trust without charge. Due to the fragility of the ink and paper on which they were produced, they can only be exposed for limited periods of time and are stored in carefully controlled and secure environments.
