Scope and content
Dennis Fusco (11) and Carole Fusco (7) watch as Erick Nilsson (16) works on a sketch in December of 1948. The three were among the more than twenty talented young artists aged 6-16 who studied painting, drawing and modeling in clay on Saturday mornings courtesy of the Arts & Science Club of Tacoma. The Arts & Sciences Club had begun an art education program for young Tacoma artists in 1947. Students interested in participating in participating were recruited from Tacoma Public Schools. Students submitted their art work which was judged by an art jury and the winners were invited to attend the weekly 2-1/2 hour Saturday class. The Arts & Sciences Club furnished the necessary materials as well as paying for heating and studio rental. (T. Times, 12/26/48, p. 27)
