Feb. 9, 2002 - (Posting Note: Please call number below to confirm date on this particular event, as they keep rescheduling this one) The City of Trenton - Douglas H. Palmer, Mayor and The Department of Recreation, Natural Resources and Culture Francis E. Blanco, Director Are proud to announce that on Feb 9th, 2002 at 6:00 PM, in conjunction with the opening reception of Artsbridge to Trenton, a formal presentation to Mr. Thomas A. Malloy naming Mr. Malloy the Artist Laureate of Trenton. The presentation will take place at The Museum of the City of Trenton, Ellarslie Mansion in Cadwalader Park. Born in 1912 Mr. Malloy moved to Trenton in 1923. In his mid-fifties he began to take his love of religion, community service and the City of Trenton to another level, by preserving through his watercolors old New Jersey farmland and the ever-changing Trenton city-scapes. He was dubbed the "Dean of Artists" because his artwork and his words inspire so many young artists to appreciate the beauty of life and to take hold of any opportunities that may come their way. On November17, 2001 Mr. Malloy was named "Artist Laureate" by Mayor Douglas H. Palmer. A member of the Garden State Watercolor Society, National League of Professional Artist, The Trenton Artists Workshop Association (TAWA), Artworks and the Trenton Museum Society, Mr. Malloy received an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from Rider University. He was also a founding member of the Arts Commission that was instrumental in the renovation of Ellarslie Mansion to the Museum of the City of Trenton. For more information please call: Brian O. Hill, Director, Ellarslie Mansion, The Museum of the City of Trenton at 609-989-3632 or bhill@ellarslie.org
