Thank You from St. Mary Interparochial School

Dear Park West Gallery,

"Sometimes the sweetest moments are those that happen spontaneously. Park West Gallery is responsible for one of those sweet moments at our school, St. Mary Interparochial School.

Last January 31, 2011, through your collaboration with Art-Reach, Cara Huffman brought one of your artists, Marcus Glenn, to visit our 8th Grade Class. Mr. Glenn engaged the attention of all the students in the telling of his personal story. We learned of the support of his mother and his persistence in following his dream to become an artist. He talked about his unique style and the hidden meanings behind his paintings.

Your generous donation of two paintings, A Dance at the Gallery and Girrrl, You Gotta See This One, allowed the students to see and 'touch' the paintings first-hand. These two paintings will be auctioned off in the Spring and will help to fund our art program. One of our lucky families will be the proud owner of an original Marcus Glenn.

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts."

As a community that values Art in all its forms, we are happy to have been selected as a recipient of this donation. Thank you again [...] The effort of your organization to assist communities like Clayton is commendable."

Thank You for the Gift of Art

"Albert, Dominic, Cara, and Rob,

Rex and I would like to thank you for the wonderful time we had at Sunriver VIP event. The kindnesses and generosity of Park West Gallery CARES has been overwhelming for our high school Art teacher and students. They will be able to study Art right in their classroom instead of going on expensive trips out of town. The art pieces and books will be used for years to come.

Rob, good to your word, you got Dominic to Oregon and Winston!! Thank you.

Albert, thanks for embracing our Art cause in our community, and heartfelt words for Rex at Sunriver.

Cara, thanks for organizing this donation event and representing Park West Gallery in our community.

Dominic, no words can express our thanks for everything you have done for us and our community. The 'Rainbow Tiger' will proudly watch over the Community Center entrance. The new logo of the cheetah looking through the trees shows how the City has grown-up. Taini, the ambassador cheetah from the Safari has never looked better wearing your tie.

Park West Gallery has shown that people still care about what is important in life, helping others to better themselves. Giving money is temporary, but the gift of art is long lasting and can move the very soul.

Thank you again for all your efforts in making this a reality!!!!"

Mayor Rex and Gail Stevens

Park West Supports Institutes of Higher Learning

Gallery provides framing for previously donated artwork to Central Michigan University

SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN / Aug. 19 -- As part of its ongoing university donation program, Park West Gallery will be providing framing services for 100 works of art donated to Central Michigan University (CMU), allowing the works to be prominently displayed and making the artwork more accessible to Central Michigan students, its faculty, and members of the local community.

"It is always with great pleasure that Park West provides its services to institutes of higher learning," said founder and CEO of Park West Gallery, Albert Scaglione. "We hope that Central Michigan enjoys the artwork and, with it now being framed, is able to display the works in such a way that CMU students are able to significantly benefit from the collection."

Mr. Scaglione has been a supporter of Central Michigan University for many years. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science by CMU during their commencement ceremonies last December. He also delivered the commencement address, inspiring the graduating seniors to pursue their dreams.

Over the past 10 years, more than $40 million dollars of art from the Park West Gallery collection has been donated by Albert Scaglione and his wife Mitsie. In addition to donating to Central Michigan University, the Scagliones have gifted artwork to: Eastern Michigan University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Henry Ford Community College, Jackson Community College, Lake Michigan College, Lawrence Technological University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Northwest State Community College, and Wittenberg University.

As part of its university donation program, Park West Gallery developed websites for each school. These sites provide information about the artists, images of the artwork in the school's collection, and links to the artists' own websites.
