About The Osborn Art Studio
The Art Studio at The Osborn was made possible by a grant from the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation by the family of Paul Theodore Arlt, a former Osborn resident. Mr. and Mrs. Arlt moved to The Osborn on Sept. 11, 2001. Mr. Arlt studied painting at Greenwich House, a pioneering settlement house, and art school in Greenwich Village. He moved to Washington in 1934 and studied at the Corcoran Gallery of Art with Samuel Burtis Baker and Eugen Weisz and later with C. Law Watkins at the Phillips Gallery School of Art. From 1951—1956 he was an editorial cartoonist for the New York Herald Tribune and later, worked as an art editor. In 1965, he was commissioned by NASA to depict the Gemini launch and today his works are in the Kennedy Space Center and the National Air and Space Museum. His “Saturday in Enterprise” hangs in the Enterprise Public Library.
