Frank Bette Center for the Arts - 1601 Paru Street - Alameda, CA 94501
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Franz Josef Bette was born in Siedlinghausen, Germany, in 1903. His father and uncle had a woodturning and furniture manufacturing shop. Frank's schooling and apprenticeship readied him to continue the family business, but his personal vision included the arts, which would have been impossible in his strict family. He came to the United States in 1927. Frank was sponsored into the United States by a maternal uncle, F.J. Senge, who promised to pay his passage back to Germany if things "weren't satisfactory."
