Last night was the Reception for the Maryland State Arts Council 2012 Individual Artist Awards. I received
notification last February that I had won one of these. This is the fourth time I have been honored with an award from the Arts Council. They always have a very nice reception and awards ceremony where the winners are introduced to the crowd and we have a group picture taken. The food is excellent and the musical entertainment is very nice also.
It wasn't until after I had my plate of food and had sat down to eat it that I noticed the front cover of the program. One of the pieces I had submitted for jurying is on the cover. Top row, third from the left. Out of the 100 award winners, it was really nice to find my work on display.
Here's a
link to the pdf version of the program.
Only three days until I leave for class at
QSDS. I think I ought to start packing.
