2009 Arts Affair Winners

of friendship and appreciation of the arts is what the Arts Affair is all about. In Bill’s honor the Arts Affair Committee has established an award in his name, “The William E. Beyer Award of Excellence”. Last year’s recipient was Dan McCole of the South Boston Art Association. This year we showcase the wealth of talent by local artists representing fifteen art associations. Welcome members from the new, Independent South Shore Artists Connection. Welcome members of Needham Art Association, celebrating their 50th year. Welcome members of the Brockton Council on Aging. Welcome back to members of Duxbury, South Shore Art Center, and North River Art Associations. And welcome Braintree, Canton, Hull, Hyde Park, Milton Art Museum, Quincy, South Boston, West Roxbury, and Weymouth Art Associations. Your continuous involvement has been the foundation on which the Arts Affair has been built. My appreciation to all the Association Presidents for their assistance in getting the word out to their members, and thank you artists, for your enthusiasm to participate. Thank you to Artscope and OnTray magazines for publicizing this event. I would also like to thank QACTV, Canton Cable 8, and BNN for their part in helping to promote the Arts Affair.
