Abstract:

Ask most folks in North Carolina about R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and they will mention its home in Winston-Salem, the iconic Camel, Winston, and Salem cigarettes. They may even known about the old RJR corporate headquarters designed by William F. Lamb. But probably no one, until recently, would have ever associated RJR Tobacco with art, until last year when the RJR Tobacco Company art collection became front page news when they made the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County the beneficiary of 3,000 pieces of artwork, plus memorabilia and collectables.
