CURRENT EXHIBITION:
A Legacy of Art and Community, our exhibit of Edith Wilson’s work
has been much enjoyed by townspeople.
Wilson (1913-1995) was a remarkably active and significant citizen of
Monterey. A graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago, Wilson
participated on many Town committees. Her presence continues to live
on in many of our town buildings and documents, as she designed our
town seal. Additionally, she bequeathed many of her paintings -- along
with her home and land (which she shared with her lifelong friend and
fellow artist, Marjorie McLaughlin) to the town – the property that is
now the Monterey Community Center. Perhaps her most significant
legacy is the scholarship that she established for Monterey residents to
continue their post-high school education, whether for a trade or for
academic pursuit. The exhibit opened on March 13 with a reception
that featured comments by several people: Barbara Swann read a piece
she had written about Wilson, Nadia Makuc spoke about her
foundation that grants scholarships, and one of Wilson’s relatives
spoke. We hope all will visit the gallery while the show is on view
through April 18.
