  • Artist: Craig Lucas (d. 2011)

Craig Lucas was born in Cleveland in 1941 and his career has centered upon his artistic practice here, growing through his influence as a teacher at Kent State University School of Art and through his unwavering commitment to the practice of painting. He received a B.F.A. from Kent State in 1967 and an M.A. in 1976. He began teaching at Kent in 1969, and, on retiring in 2004, was honored as an Emeritus Professor and with the establishment of a graduate assistantship in his name.

His exhibitions include one-person shows at the Akron Art Museum; John Davis Gallery (Akron); Ohio University; William Busta Gallery (Cleveland); Occidental College (Los Angeles); Zygote Press (Cleveland); and the inclusion of a large body of his work in The Invitational at the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1994. He has exhibited extensively in group shows in the region,
and nationally, including 11 times in the May Show at the Cleveland Museum of Art, winning the prestigious Painting Award in 1990.
