"Small Works on Paper - Exhibition Drawing by Three Professors from Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia"

The Tyler School of Art of Temple University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is one of the best art schools in the United States. At the exhibition, drawings of three art professors will be shown: Charles Schmidt, a Tyler drawing and painting professor, and Sarah Steinwachs and McDavid Henderson, who are former students of Schmidt.
