People often speak reverently of the former Austin Peay State University art student\u2019s prolific and inspired output of work, ranging from painting to drawing to sculpture to jewelry to designing musical instruments and handcrafted furniture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, he glowed with creativity and I could sense that he had a better existence than me because he was able to let go of what was expected of him, exist through a job as a job and live life as an artist,\u201d local musician Syd Hedrick wrote in an essay on Malone in 1999.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For current APSU art students, Malone is remembered in a different way. He\u2019s the person responsible for allowing them to earn a college degree. Shortly after Malone\u2019s death of an aneurysm in 1998, his family established a memorial scholarship at APSU that is awarded annually to an art student.<\/p>\n<p>The month, the Clarksville community will again get to appreciate the talents of this late local artist with a new exhibition, \u201cTom Malone Remembered: A memorial exhibit from the Malone family collection.\u201d The show opens with a private reception at 2:00pm on April 10th in the lobby of the APSU Trahern Building. Selected pieces by Malone will remain on view in the lobby and in the Trahern mezzanine gallery through April 29th.<\/p>\n<p>While a student at APSU, Malone studied sculpture with his mentor, emeritus professor Olen Bryant. Malone even assisted on Bryant\u2019s sculpture, \u201cThe Green Man,\u201d which sits in the center of campus next to the Morgan University Center.<\/p>\n<p>The works in this new exhibit represent Malone\u2019s versatile creativity and his willingness to experiment.
