During the conference, WWOCN will recognize the recipients of the Women of Achievement Award and present the awardee of its a...nnual Mabel Smith Memorial Scholarship.
This is the first time that WWOCN will sponsor a multicultural arts and crafts exhibit that will present the work of women and youths of color artists from the community. The purpose of the exhibit is to bring awareness and understanding of the various cultures through art.
The exhibits will includes some or all of the following forms of visual arts: woodcarving, jewelry, metal work, needlework, painting, quilting, sculpture, textile and basket weaving.
We are inviting artists of color from the community to display and sell their artwork. The exhibit also will offer participants an opportunity to describe their artwork and relate it to their respective cultural roots, network and advertise the items they are offering to sell.
The MULTICULTURAL ARTS & CRAFTS EXHIBIT is open to the public. The doors will be open from 10A.M. to 3P.M.
A BUFFET LUNCH will be served at noon to honor the recipients of the WWOCN WOMEN OF ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS and the MABEL SMITH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP. Advance registration is required for attending the lunch. The cost of the lunch is: ADULTS -$25.00 and children under 12 years old - $10.00. Deadline for registration is Monday, September 19, 2011.
WWOCN acknowledges the conference support of the John Deere Credit Foundation and the Madison College. To encourage more participation from artists, WWOCN is appealing to our members, friends and supporters to sponsor an artist by donating $25.00 to cover direct costs for artist's registration. Conference brochures and registration forms will be made available on our website: www.womenofcolornetwork-wi
