WONG RECEIVES TANNE FOUNDATION AWARD FOR ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT
Other recipients
are: Chris Byars, Bronx, NY, a composer/arranger; Abinadi Meza,
Minneapolis, MN, a sound artist; and Mobius Inc., Boston, MA, producers
of performance art and art installations.
Elizabeth Wong was honored by the Tanne
Foundation Award.
The Tanne Foundation is a private nonprofit organization based in New
Hampshire, administered by Grants Management Associates in Boston,
Ma., dedicated to recognizing artists and arts organizations.
Nominations for the award are made by the foundation
trustees. Since its inception, the foundation has awarded 49 artists
and 9 organizations in recognition of outstanding achievement.
From the Tanne Foundation:
"Art extracts a price. It
demands that you listen, see, learn, be both adventurous and willing to
fail. It asks that you venture towards what is not known, but is there,
and reveal it to the community which needs to know but is not able to
make the journey." -- John Gale, trustee.
