The artist was scheduled to begin at 12 noon at the October Gallery Museum--but according to Mercer Redcross, owner of the October Gallery, the crowd came early, so he had to open a little earlier than scheduled to accommodate the art lovers-doors opened at 11 am. The exhibit was held til 7 pm.
Just last Sunday, Frank Frazier chatted with me about the exhibit and how he was so excited to bring his work from Texas to Philadelphia and to showcase the work of those he mentors.
Frank began his work as a fine artist early, at the age of seven, creating paintings in his family’s Harlem, New York City home. A husband and father of five, he recalls growing up, “We were not poor, but my family was a little different.” At the age of 15, his family moved to New York City, which brought trouble for the young man who ended up at a boys’ institution in upstate New York, but it also marked the point where Frazier turned his life around; Frank's teachers noticed his talent, and he was responsible for creating art for the “different bunks.”
