Paul Parker Utica Trust

Paul Parker was chair of the Hamilton College Art department and a professor there for twenty-two years. During the ‘50’s and 60’s he sketched and painted scenes of pre-urban renewal Utica. Upon his retirement Prof. Parker joined twenty-two of these oil paintings into a permanent collection to become the Paul Parker Utica Trust and asked Cassandra Harris-Lockwood to be the Trustee.

These Trust paintings are major works of art and are available for lease on quarterly basis. The income from the Trust is used for ‘supporting and promoting the arts’ for ‘individuals whose talents exceed their financial means.’
