Post 37: PWAS Members Congratulations!

PWAS Member Awards, Recognition and Woohoos!

Periodically, we at the Prince William Art Society would like to recognize our artist members that have recently been awarded or recognized at various art events, galleries, contests, etc that they have been selected for. This could include First, Second, or Third Place or have entered a juried art event and selected to appear in a show, a gallery, a studio, and of course, if he or she won a prize for it!

A Heads Up and Give Them a Cheer, All of the Artists Listed Here!

Sort of like at the Oscars, just to be nominated, is a celebration. To be juried into an art event, is a great honor as well! Let's all take a moment and congratulate our PWAS fellow members!
