Pasquale Scarcello, whom the retirees' newsletter calls "the Maestro", was the president of the Thunder Bay International Fine Arts Association (TBIFAA) in Thunder Bay from at least 2008 until at least 2011.[1][2]
Hosting the retirees' association
In 2008 Scarcello, as president of the association, hosted the executive of the new Retirees' Association of Lakehead University at the TBIFAA studio on South Algoma Street, offering a quiet, secure place for its meetings free of charge while the founders drafted a constitution. The retirees describe him as recognizing that academics and artists have throughout history found common cause, and say that his sponsorship was critical for their fledgling organization.[1]
Fine Arts Association
In April 2011 the newsletter named Scarcello as the president and contact for the association, which met on the third Monday of every month and invited artists and would-be artists to its meetings.[2]
