Women
Contemporary Artists Presents
Annual Awards
Sarasota - Women Contemporary Artists held its annual End of the
Year Party where they presented financial awards to area college
women completing their sophomore year. The objective of the annual
award is to provide assistance and recognition to women who have
made a commitment to obtain a degree in Fine Arts versus graphic,
illustration or animation arts. Fine Art majors focus on developing
their own unique vehicle for creating art versus creating work that
is directed by outside criteria. The funds awarded may be used in
any way the student sees fit, assisting with the purchase of materials,
equipment or travel to help them enhance their learning experiences.

arts scene, 27 additional FAN grantees were also announced, making
this years pool one of the largest in FAN history at $270,000.

Ray began his dance career in 2003 by studying mixed-mobility dance
with Elizabeth Edelson, a dance/movement therapist in Tampa. Though
he always had a strong interest in dance, he was hesitant to begin
studying due to his quadriplegia and the unknown of what mixed-mobility
dance was all about. Learn
