We are now The Wallace Center for Arts and Reconciliation

At the 2023 Homecoming, Klein Arts & Culture is celebrating its name change to The Wallace Center for Arts and Reconciliation. The name Klein was arbitrarily given to the house by the white Wallace family in the late 19th century when a name was required for the newly established postal address of the property. The Black Wallace family requested that the organization’s name be changed to reflect their name and the way they knew the house. In addition, the name encompasses the heritage of both the white and Black descendants and reflects the mission of our organization.
