WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (October 8, 2015)
– Artists Showcase of the Palm Beaches invites you to come welcome and greet Dr. Arthur ‘Art’ Bacon, a professor, scientist, civil rights activist, historian, scholar and artist.  Dr. Bacon will be appearing at the Historic Jenkins House on Saturday, October 24, 2015 from 4:30pm to 7:30 p.m. discuss the inspiration of his displayed artwork.

This West Palm Beach native is a graduate of Talladega College and Howard University, where he completed his terminal degrees in biology. He was also research fellow at the University of Miami. He served as Dean of Natural Sciences and Mathematics at Talladega College where he retired and was recently named Professor Emeritus of Natural Sciences and Humanities.

His works of art have been exhibited in many cities including Atlanta, New York, Berkeley, Birmingham, and Washington D.C. Dr. Bacon’s subjects of choice are usually older and neglected people whose experiences show in their faces. His original works were mostly completed with ink washes and lines with very little color.  His minimalist approach was inspired by the idea that color interfered with his expression of feelings. In more recent works Dr. Bacon has used color, acrylics, different media, and varied techniques to convey his work.

Dr. Bacon still has many deep ties to this community. When in high school, a young Art Bacon was mentored by S. Bruce McDonald at Roosevelt High School.  While on staff at Talladega College he taught this event’s chairperson, Dr. Khalil Moses.  The list of those in our community who recognize Dr. Bacon’s skills and accomplishments is impressive and Artists Showcase would like to give young and old the opportunity to learn more and appreciate this great man.

Come and learn more about Artists Showcase of the Palm Beaches (a non-profit organization) as we highlight the accomplishments of one of Palm Beach County’s very own.  You will also have the opportunity to support our community, art education based programs for underserved children through the purchase of artwork, donations, involvement and memberships.
