$6,000 Awarded for Champion Trees Project
 

(L to R) Maribeth Frazer (AC NMWA board
member), Peter Remoy (Plum Creek
representative), and artist Linda Palmer.
The Arkansas Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts was awarded a $6,000 grant from the Plum Creek Foundation to support the Arkansas Champion Trees traveling exhibition.  The exhibition consists of a series of 18 drawings by Hot Springs artist Linda Palmer documenting Champion trees in the state of Arkansas.  Project Manager Barbara Satterfield says "The Arkansas Champion Trees exhibit will bring students, teachers and families together to learn more about Arkansas' greatest natural resource . . . With Plum Creek's support, we will be able to branch out to communities statewide to show the work of a very talented female artist."  Click here to see a video about the project.
