The exhibition will include Paine's earliest pieces, created from the time of his service in World War II, his work at SHSU during the '60s and '70s, and his more recent painting on fine porcelain. SHSU students who demonstrate exceptional painting talent are recipients of the award each year. Paine has announced that he intends to add to the size of the scholarship endowment by returning all profits from the sale of his artwork to the endowment fund. Clark's presentation is scheduled for the Blackwood Room of the Beto Criminal Justice Center. While primarily for students planning to enter the law enforcement field, the presentation is open to others who may be interested.
Admission is free.
