Congratulations!!! Larry Poncho Brown won the distinguished Museum Choice Award  at the "Save The Arts Awards Show"

 

Are the Grammy’s Coming to Greensboro, NC?….Almost! For the first time in our nation's history, Save the Arts, Inc. will award painters, sculptors, photographers and architects for their contributions to the world of visual arts with the Save the Arts award during the Inaugural Save the Arts Awards show.

Thanks to founding member Rasheem Pugh, a Grammy award-winning songwriter, coming to the Carolina Theatre March 20, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. will be the opportunity for Triad citizens to experience the ambiance, notoriety and elegance that you find like that at the Grammy Awards each year. There are award shows to recognize every facet of talented people around the world from the Oscars to Olympics, Academy Awards to People Choice Awards but none that recognize the best of creative visual minds of painters, sculptors, architects and photographers. The first annual Save the Arts Awards show will do just that and feature a VIP reception with introductory red carpet leading all to this first time in history even in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Save the Arts Awards show is committed to acknowledging artists who have made major contributions to the art and design of our great nation by awarding painters, sculptors, architects and photographers with the coveted Save the Arts award. The awards show will also provide another opportunity to increase the awareness of the arts culture from around the world and its vital importance in how it influences us all in our everyday lives. Have you ever imagined life with no art? Imagine – no pictures, no paintings, no sculpture, no buildings… What would the world be without a different and creative perspective to enlighten, inspire and magnify God’s beauty that surrounds us?

Painters: Bill Mittag, Bob Moline, Charles Bibbs, Frank Morrison, Joe Bergeron, John Holyfield, John Pugh, Joseph Holston, Joyce Wellman, Juan Logan, Larry Poncho Brown, Lashun Beals, Leo Rucker, Leroy Campbell, Raul Montero, Roderick Vines, Ted Ellis, Vandorn Hinnant and William T. Williams.
