HISTORY OF THE
SAN ANGELO ART CLUB
and the
KENDALL ART GALLERY

˜

The SAN ANGELO ART CLUB  was organized in 1928.

The land for the KENDALL ART GALLERY was donated to the SAN ANGELO ART CLUB in 1946 by Riley Kendall in memory of his wife, Helen King Kendall. The SAN ANGELO ART CLUB  borrowed money and raised funds to build the first unit of the gallery in 1949.

In 1950/51, funds to build the "In Our Image" wing that housed the Houston Harte collection were donated by Houston Harte and sixty of his friends.

The Benge Studio was built in 1951/52 with funds donated by Arch Benge and funds raised by SAN ANGELO ART CLUB members.

The entire gallery was remodeled in 1968 with the help of the Downtown Lions Club. John Bates paid for all the remodeling supplies and other San Angelo merchants provided lighting and draperies.

The storage room was built in 1969 with help from funds donated by John Bates.

In 2003, the KENDALL ART GALLERY was painted and redecorated by SAN ANGELO ART CLUB members.
