2011 National Arts Program® Comes to a Close

The 2011 City of Lincoln National Arts Program® concluded on Friday, July 22 with a closing reception and awards ceremony that was held downtown in the Candy Factory Building.

 

Award winners were recognized and given cash and scholarship awards by City Councilman, Carl Eskridge. All award winning pieces of artwork were on display for friends and family members to view during the reception.

 

The winner of the “Best in Show” award was Annie Shepherd. She received $300 for that award, and another $300 for winning first place in the Intermediate category. A complete list of award recipients follows this article.

 

Thank you to all of those who made this program possible this year. It was a great success and we look forward to next year’s program with continuing support from the city and the community!
