In memory of Ric, who was an impactful community member, culinary instructor, friend of many and long-time Art in the Loft Gallery Manager, we present the Ric Jasso Scholarship Fund.

​The fund will continue our mission of making the “Arts for Everyone” by breaking down barriers and putting art in the hands of anyone who wants it.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Art in the Loft family member and honorary citizen of Alpena, Tony Hendrick. Many of you had met Tony during his many trips to Alpena from his home in Grand Ledge, while he painted, created and installed our beautiful Alpena landmark, The Community Mural Project, which resides in the pocket park on Chisholm street.
 
Working in collaboration, Tony, the Loft board of directors, staff and volunteers, spent years to make the mural come to life, not just once… but twice! Tony traveled dozens of times to Alpena to work with our community to ensure that every person that interacted with the mural took ownership of it. This was not just limited to Alpena, but we even took these fish to surrounding cities, to make sure that the mural truly encompassed Northeast Michigan. During his many conversations while teaching others to paint the 13 fish that are a permanent part of the mural, he taught us to not get caught up in the outcome or worry how others will perceive their work, but to be a part of the experience of making something that is much larger than ourselves while bringing our community together. Tony’s way of expressing ourselves through painting, we all became much closer through this shared experience. He was able to share a big part of himself through his artistic style but more importantly by sharing is kind, loving and quiet personality. Tony leaves his lasting mark on our city, but so much more through the way he interacted with our community and making sure that we all can come together through the act of creating collaboratively towards a common goal.
