Artist Agnes M. Pal, a native of Hungary and a Holocaust survivor, died at 85 years of age on Aug. 26th, 2021 in Glen Carbon, IL. A Celebration of Life and exhibition of Pal’s art opened in the Fuller Dome on Dec. 18th 2021 as an opportunity for Pal’s friends and family to honor her extaordinary life. Pal and her late husband, Alexander, relocated to Edwardsville in the 1970s when Alexander accepted a position as a math professor at SIUE. Pal, a former art director of a New York City advertising agency, found her creative outlet by pursuing graduate studies in the SIUE College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Art and Design.
A highly celebrated metalsmith and sculptor, Pal’s work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibits. The Agnes Majtinszky Pal Collection, featuring more than 50 pieces of sculpture and fine art jewelry created by Pal, is displayed and cared for at the SIUE University Museum.
This closing reception will be the public’s last chance to see this incredible exhibition in the historic Fuller Dome. Please join us Friday, 2/25/22 from 6-8PM in the Fuller Dome, located on the SIUE campus, just off of circle drive, next to Visitor Parking Lot B.
