Formed in 1986, 19 on Paper is a group of New England artists who create works of art on or with paper, which we exhibit as a group.
Featured Member: Marion Wilner
With a blank canvas and a seemingly endless supply of enthusiasm, Marion Wilner created the art program at Bristol Community College. Fifty years ago, Wilner was called on to teach an art history class at the newly formed community college, which is marking its 50th anniversary this year.
They needed a class to fulfill a humanities elective, she said, and founding president Jack Hudnall called on Wilner to teach it. A native of New York who studied at Parsons School of Design, New York University and the Art Student's League, Wilner was already known in the city as one of a group of people who founded the Fall River Art Association.
