Clarisse Mechanic  1924 - 2009

The arts community has lost a wonderful friend with the passing of Clarisse Mechanic.  She was passionate about the arts and serving the needs of children.  Mrs. Mechanic and the Morris A. Mechanic Foundation supported the Center for the Arts in our efforts from the beginning to build an arts center in Harford County.  Quite simply, we would not be where we are today without her belief in our mission.  For this we are very grateful.
