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.
