The annual award recognizes young sculptors to encourage their continued commitment to the field. It also draws attention to the sculpture programs of the participating art schools.
“I was very flattered and very thankful,” says Carlesimo, who notes her interest in examining the idealism of twentieth century architecture and planning as well as related political, social and economic issues.

It can be a challenging time for the blood program; as donors change their routines, stopping by a clinic isn’t always top of mind. Meanwhile, the need for blood doesn’t take a holiday.
