"Betty Murray Award"
given to
Vonnie Kohn & Paul Latham
The Betty Murray Award, the highest award given by the Weatherford Art Guild, is equivalent to the Most Valuable Player award given in sports. The Weatherford Art Guild (Weatherford, Tx) hosts an active art guild numbering over a hundred members. Vonnie Kohn held the office of Vice-President of Shows for 4 years, sharing this responsibility with Mr. Paul Latham, President during the years of 2006-2010.
In her tenure, she created a number of new art shows including the Annual Miniature Holiday Gala, The Western Art Show, coinciding with the historic Ft. Worth Stock Show, and the Fall Photography Show, involving the Ft. Worth-Dallas area. In addition, she oversaw the Annual Peach Festival Art Show which hosted more than 200 artists from the Metroplex. This Festival draws a crowd in excess of 35,000 in one day.
The Weatherford Art Guild honored Ms. Kohn, stating that as a member she exhibited a notably dedicated service to the art group and best represented the art group to the community. This award is usually given to only one member annually, but Ms. Kohn & Mr. Latham shared their responsibilities with equal distinction over the four year period. The awards were presented on Monday, October 23, 2011 at the monthly meeting.
