The Art of Robert Benjamin on Exhibit at Rodman Library

Artwork by Robert Benjamin

Rodman Public Library will showcase the artwork of Robert L. Benjamin during the month of October in the Main Gallery. Benjamin will be inducted into the Alliance High School Distinguished Alumnus group this fall. An Alliance native, upon graduation from Alliance High School in 1969, he was accepted by the Ivy School of Professional Art in Pittsburgh, PA. After several years of study, during which Benjamin took advantage of the many cultural amenities of Pittsburgh, he began to visualize a more expansive natural setting as inspiration for his art and moved to New Mexico in 1971.
