Thank you
Norma Thomas-Herr and her brother-in-law, Daniel Joseph Herr, donated two handmade art display racks to the Toledo Artist Club. Daniel, a woodworker, used scraps of lumber and created the design for the racks himself. We thank Daniel for all the thinking, measuring, cutting, and hard work to make these useful racks.
Olympic Athletes
For the first four decades of competition, the Olympics awarded official medals for painting, sculpture, architecture, literature and music, alongside those for the athletic competitions. From 1912 to 1952, juries awarded a total of 151 medals to original works in the fine arts inspired by athletic endeavors.
