Alfred Conteh's “Our Greatest Inheritance” Dedication | Peoria Riverfront Museum

Alfred Conteh’s piece “Our Greatest Inheritance” is finally revealed!
This beautiful piece, the first that Conteh has ever created on a subject not from his home base in Atlanta, Georgia, features a family from our city, the city of gratitude: Peoria, Illinois.
The massive 10x7-foot painting also marks the first time that the Peoria Riverfront Museum will commission a nationally recognized artist.
