INTERNATIONAL AWARD: Federation Internationale de la Medaille dıArt FIDEM XXXI, Tampere Finland - June 2010 Commemorative medals are hand held sculptures that are made by artists to commemorate anything of importance - global or personal. This international exhibit is held bi-annually, in conjunction with a conference ( congress) at a different world location each time. The conference draws artists and collectors from all points on the globe, as well as dignitaries of state, ambassadors, consulates, and presidents of those countries. The conference and exhibit is juried by experts in the field. Each country is allocated a set number of entries to represent that country. So getting work accepted is no small feat. In 2007 the event was held in Colorado Springs, CO, - one of our art students , Elaine Swenson, had work accepted to the show, and was able to attend the conference. In June of 2010 this event will be held in Tampere, Finland I am happy and proud to announce, that two FRCC students - Elaine Swenson, and Marcy Davis have had work accepted into this prestigious event - as have I. Pictures of the medals will be posted on our site. I encourage you to click on this link to see more information on the event: http://www.tampere.fi/fidem/nayttely-en.html
