June 2011 President’s Message/Laurianne Macdonald
Most of our residents and even some of members do not realize that the Coral Springs Artist Guild has been around for almost 40 years. Established in 1973, the nonprofit organization has seen its share of ups and downs, and gone through many changes. The one thing that has stayed the same is its dedication to sharing and inspiring. For the last 25 years the guild has sponsored an annual juried art competition for the Coral Springs graduating seniors. One student from each high school receives a cash scholar award, certificate of achievement, and a year’s honorary membership to the Coral Springs Artist Guild. They must present a portfolio to the judges in April or May and one talented student is picked from each school.
This year’s winners are as follows;
John Cavanough from Coral Springs High School
Maxine Gleiberman from Marjory Stoneman Douglas
Taylor Hollander from Coral Springs Charter
Trisha McCutchen from Coral Glades High School
Anna Waurzyniak from J.P. Taravella
I would like to thank all our judges, Loretta Herman, Lester Wolfe, Al Rosenfeld, Eleanor & Robert Richter, and Candy & John Childrey, for their dedication to the worthy cause. I’d also like to welcome our new board members, Robert Grauer and Raymond Rivera. They are talented artists, bringing enthusiasm and new ideas to our guild and the board.
Have a great summer! The board members will not meet again until the last week of August, but please remember to work on a submission for the Coral Springs Festival of Arts Signature Artist competition. Entries are due by September 15th.
Please spread the word. Thank you!!!
