It’s been a long time coming, but that doesn’t take away from the celebration and excitement emanating from Point Park University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. What’s the story you need to hear?
Iconic artist Frank Mason has been a longtime member and supporter of Artists Fellowship, Inc., receiving the Benjamin West Clinedinst Memorial Medal in 2002. The Fellowship recently announced news that the Lawrence Hall Gallery at Point Park University in Pittsburgh will now house a permanent exhibition of Mason’s works.
“Recently part of that collection travelled and was shown at Indiana (PA) University,” the Fellowship reports. “The Cleveland-born master was associated with the Art Students League as a teacher for many years and ArtWatch International, which he co-founded. So many artists do not have that singular institution to carry their banner. In this instance, high marks go to Frank’s widow, Anne, and Jack Tomayko, a longtime collector and Trustee at Point Park, for making it happen.” The exhibition will feature 16 oil paintings ranging from portraits and figure studies to landscapes and seascapes.
