Loading ...Summer exhibition features work of Wartburg professor emeritus
More than two dozen pieces created by Arthur Frick will be featured at an exhibition opening June 5 at Wartburg College’s Waldemar A. Schmidt Art Gallery.
The show, “Arthur Frick: Selected Works by Wartburg Professor Emeritus,” will run through Friday, Aug. 7. A reception is planned for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. July 10.
Frick, who headed the Wartburg Department of Art for more than 20 years, also spent more than two decades teaching at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon where he headed the school’s art, music and theater programs. At Wartburg, he helped build degree programs in studio art, art education and art and business as well as a program in pre-architecture. He and his wife, Aida Moukheibir Frick, a Lebanese-American artist who taught at Wartburg for 18 years, continue to reside in Waverly following their retirements in the mid-90s.
His work has been shown in art museums, galleries and collections abroad and in the U.S. All pieces included in this exhibit will be available for purchase. Many items can be viewed at http://faculty.wartburg.edu/frick/.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. The gallery, in Bachman Fine Arts Center, is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily or by appointment during the summer months.
