Title	Playhouse; Mural by Kenneth Callahan
Identifier	spl_wl_sec_00369
Description	Unnamed mural by Kenneth Callahan, in the Playhouse of the Century 21 Exposition. The mural was commissioned by Mrs. Thomas D. (Emma) Stimson for $5,000. "The Spokane-born painter Kenneth Callahan was one of the leading artists of the Pacific Northwest school. As a young painter he was exhibited in the First Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary Art at the Whitney Museum in New York. He subsequently was recognized in a breakthrough 1953 Life magazine article as one of the 'Mystic Painters of the Northwest.' He spent years working as a curator at the Seattle Art Museum, and when he was fired in 1952 (he had been using the museum as a studio, which a new curator found reprehensible), he continued painting and selling paintings from his studio on the south fork of the Stillaguamish River, near Granite Falls in Snohomish County." (Delores Tarzan Ament, "Callahan, Kenneth (1905-1986), Painter." HistoryLink.org, http://www.historylink.org/index.cfm?DisplayPage=output.cfm&File_Id=5203)
