Distinguished Woman Artist Award Ceremony and Luncheon
The Fresno Art Museum's Council of 100 is pleased to announce the recipient of its 2014 Distinguished Woman Artist Award, Mildred Howard, sculptor and mixed media artist.
For 25 years, the Fresno Art Museum's Council of 100, remains a unique organization devoted to recognizing outstanding women in the arts. The Council, working in collaboration with the Museum, has garnered recognition for its valuable contribution of honoring contemporary women artists through its annual Distinguished Woman Artist award.
The main function of the Council of 100 is to choose, with the Fresno Art Museum, a Distinguished Woman Artist for the year and to underwrite the exhibition and exhibition catalog. With the opening of each new exhibition, a luncheon to honor the designee is held at the Museum, usually in September of each year. Invitations to additional art events throughout the year are a benefit of your membership, including talks and tours of artist members' studios.
Members of the Council are given the opportunity to meet and interact with women in the arts on local and national levels all year around.
Join or renew your annual membership for the Council of 100, memberships starting at $50. Membership in the Council is only open to current members of the Fresno Art Museum.
Join or renew your annual membership at the Fresno Art Museum, memberships starting at $25.
