Joseph Slawinski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Slawinski, scrafitto artist and sculptor who died in 1983, did murals at Assumption Roman Catholic Church, the Stella Niagara Mother House Chapel, Daemon College, and the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima in Lewiston New York. The Polish Arts Club is raising money to move and restore a 18 x 12 foot mural currently on an exterior wall of a building at Graycliff in Derby, NY. They plan on moving it to Assumption Church on Amherst Street. The mural depicts St. Joseph Calasanctius, founder of the Parist Priests who owned Graycliff for a number of years.
