The John Robinson Memorial Sculpture
John Robinson served the Kings Art Center in many capacities over his 20 years of leadership. John was most notably the Curator for 15 years. He additionally served as a member of our board of trustees for 10 years. A Fulbright Fellow, a Preparator/Curator at San Francisco’s famed de Young museum, a lifelong art educator, a dedicated community servant, and a devoted friend. John brought incredible expertise to our organization. and served the Art Center until his very last days.
In recognition of John’s invaluable imprint on our organization the Kings Art Center Board of Trustees has unanimously named John T. Robinson, Trustee Emeritus. Additionally, the board has dedicated a prominent space in the beautiful Sharp Porterfield Courtyard at the Art Center for a memorial sculpture to bear John’s name. The selected sculpture is Fortuna II by American sculptor, Vadim Kharchenco. The piece, pictured, brings symbols of John’s vital influence on the Art Center, John’s strength of character and knowledge, and the vibrancy with which John executed his craft in service to our mission.
You can be a part of bringing this important memorial to our courtyard. We are asking for donors to make this vision a reality. The sculpture, its transit and installation are expected to cost $16,000.00. We believe this investment in the Art Center will not only recognize our debt of gratitude and love to John, but also advance the inspirational beauty of the Art Center, furthering the mission of art exhibition to which John dedicated so much of his leadership in our organization.

Children's Art Education Programs
|
Every summer we offer a large array of week-long art classes for students aged 5 – 17. This is an opportunity for students to learn about new creative practices, media and techniques, develop and refine their artistic skills, and home in on their aesthetic interests all while having a lot of fun creating artwork of their very own! We take great pride in the artwork the students create throughout our Summer Art Program and hang it up for display at our annual Evening of the Arts exhibition and carnival celebration, which takes place one week after classes have ended. |
