[July 12, 2020]    Family and friends of Toby Prange (Moses Pinkerton) have organized memorial activities in his honor, to take place in Lincoln on July 18, 2020. From 10:00 am to 12:00, a visitation will be held at the Holy Family Church at 316 S. Logan St.

An exhibition of artworks by Moses Pinkerton, organized by the family and Logan County Arts, will be open at the Lincoln Art Institute, 112 S. McLean St., from 1:00 – 5:00 pm.

This cello player, a favorite theme of Moses Pinkerton, shows the fluid lines typical of his painterly style. This artwork, as well as many more two- and three-dimensional works by the artist, will be on display at an exhibition at the Lincoln Art Institute on July 18, 2020, one of several memorial activities being held that day.

The art will include some images which are familiar to local gallery goers, as well as others which have not been displayed before. In addition to a tour within the gallery, outdoor seating, some covered, will be available. Flossie and Delzena Café will provide refreshments. COVID recommendations for gallery capacity, face masks and social distancing will be followed.
