Please join us Virtually or In-Person at the historic Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts in the beautiful City of Chicago — the childhood home of Richard Schmid and the place where his artistic journey first began. For the first time in history, 36 masterworks painted by Richard Schmid at the Palette & Chisel will be reunited and exhibited together in the very place they were created. Honoring his profound legacy, the exhibition also features paintings by The Seven Legendary Artists—Clayton J. Beck III, Scott Burdick, Romel de la Torre, Rose Frantzen, Daniel Gerhartz, Nancy Guzik, and Susan Lyon – each with a distinct voice and vision, while their works carry Schmid’s spirit of forward.
