Working with the Commission, and, with the assistance of the U.S. Ambassador to Latvia, Brian E. Carlson, the family of the late, world-renewed artist, Mark Rothko, funded the restoration of a synagogue in the artist’s hometown of Daugavplis.

Rothko’s family immigrated to the United States in the early 1900’s
