Brenau University is expected to add more than 2,000 works of art to its collection with the pending acquisition of assets belonging to a New York foundation that’s been keeping alive the legacy of artists John Heliker and Robert LaHotan. In addition, Brenau would acquire property on Great Cranberry Island in Maine where Heliker and LaHotan lived and welcomed other artists to work at their studios on the island. All told, Brenau would gain almost $3 million in assets from the Heliker-LaHotan Foundation, if approved by the office of the New York Attorney General, which oversees charitable and nonprofit organizations in the state and the distribution of their assets.
