Once again, the Helen P. Lockridge Awards will be given out to the students by Eleanor Lockridge Olson. Here is a quote from her, fyi.

"Helen always felt that a good artist must have not only natural talent, but the drive and determination for continued work and education. She understood both the obstacles and the challenges involved for young artists. Through these awards, she hoped to encourage young people to use their talents to make the world a lovelier place to live. It is my pleasure to continue this effort, which brought her great joy." - Eleanor Lockridge Olson
