* Announcement: Baseball art exhibit in Appleton, WI

October 3, 2008

Yesterday (Oct. 2), the Appleton Art Center opened “an exhibition featuring several works from its popular ‘Art of the Diamond: Baseball’ exhibit, which was originally on display in April and May as part of a series of events organized by Fox Cities arts groups under the title ‘Home Run for the Arts.'”

Also in the exhibition are several photographs dating from the 1930s and 1940s by Chicago photographer, George Brace, who from 1929 to 1993 captured iconic images of over 10,000 baseball players. Also included will be three vintage 1911 baseball cards depicting members of the celebrated Chicago Cubs infield — Joe Tinker, John Evers and Frank Chance — all of whom were in the Cubs lineup the last time the venerable Chicago ball club won the World Series 100 years ago. A highlight of the exhibit will be a rare, autographed baseball signed by Babe Ruth.

The exhibition runs through Nov. 15.
