Moore WCA Award of Excellence: Heather Sundquist

Jurors Marie Elcin,
Sonia Sherrod,and Nicole Dul chose Heather Sundquist,
an art ed major as the recipient Moore WCA Award of Excellence.
Marie described Heather's installation, "She did these
hexagonal beehive cells with drawings of women in various roles,
cleaning, caring for children, workng,and also had extracts
of books written on some, with parts of pictures and some words
embroidered. I loved it...I loved the many levels of the work,
the hive as symbol of society, the somewhat familiar texts,
the line quality of her drawing, and the time-intensive nature
of the work she did."  Heather is excited to join us as the
newest member of the WCA, and we will see her as part of the
WCA tables at Art Star Craft Bazaar and Art for the Cash Poor.
Virginia Maksymowicz and Bonnie MacAllister presented
Heather with the award.

Two Upcoming Events! This from Virginia

1) This Wednesday, April 25, the Philadelpha Chapter will be presenting its annual award at the Moore College of Art & Design's Senior Show. Time for reception and ceremony is 5:30 - 7:30 pm. We already have folks to present the award (Bonnie is working on designing the certificate . . . ) but it would be great to have a bunch of members in attendance.

2) On June 9, our Chapter will present its annual award to a high-school junior at the Philadelphia School District annual "Young Artists" exhibit. This show showcases artwork from elementary, middle and high schools throughout the system.

WE NEED A FEW FOLKS TO HELP WITH THE JUDGING AND TO PRESENT THE AWARD. The work is already on display at the District's new headquarters at 440 North Broad, and can be seen any weekday prior to the award ceremony. It is always a wonderful exhibit and we always have a great time picking the winner. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED AND I WILL SEND YOU DETAILS.
