Thomas Tomasek, who works primarily in pastels will have many of his works on hand to display and discuss during the October 6, 1-3 p.m. reception.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/13sept\/tomasek.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"alignleft size-full\" \/>Tomasek has received many awards and special recognitions for his works, most recently having one of his painting selected for inclusion in a book to be published this fall by Leelanlau Press. The effort, entitled \u201cOasis Sleeping Bear Interior\u201d was inspired by a hike through the heart of Sleeping Bear Dunes. The selection precludes the painting from being part of the October open house, however Tomasek will have copies of the book and prints available following publication.<br \/>\nAnother honor this year was the selection of one of his paintings during the Muskegon Museum\u2019s 85th annual Purchase Award held in April. It is an event where corporate or private interests purchase pieces of art from the museum for personal or public display. The event is the oldest of its kind in M ichigan.<br \/>\nAside from intra-state recognitions, Tomasek was an honorable mention in the Pastel Journal. The magazine is a national publication and annually holds competition for pastel works.<br \/>\nAs usual this monthly open house refreshments will be served. This month\u2019s sponsor is Friends of the Gallery.<br \/>\nThe Gallery is located at 215 N. Clinton Ave. in St. Johns and information regarding the monthly Sunday Event \u2013 and other Council related activities \u2013 can be obtained by calling 989 224-2329 or visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/clintoncountyarts.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clintoncountyarts.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37089\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stjindy.com\/archive1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
