Today we will begin to reveal the Uncle Rico's Van Decal Contest winners. As a reminder, there were 3 prompts students could use as a guide for their artwork: That's So Richmond, Mummy Summer Fun, or Napoleon Dynamite. Also, thanks again to artist Latosha Stone Keagy Tosha Ann for digitizing these original student works. These have been translated flawlessly.

A great place to begin as we reveal the decal contest winners is this work by Alan Santiago, Fairview, 2nd Grade. GOSH! that's some nice work, Alan.

Taste of Art Tuesday this week features a work by Foster Fellowship artist, Kate Orr, entitled, Pegasus. This drawing won Best of Show in the 124th Annual Exhibition of Indiana and Ohio Artists at RAM, the first time Kate had entered the competition!

Last week Kate visited several places and engaged with a variety of demographics, bringing art to where people are. From First Graders at Fairview to Elders at Friends Fellowship and The Leland Legacy, this program inspired many. Two sessions at Centerville High School and Richmond High School, a Kiwanis meeting, and an artist gathering at The Hive downtown Richmond, as well as a great session with Mark Van Buskirk's painting students at Earlham College, had people thinking about art, making art and enjoying the creative process.

The inaugural week of the Foster Fellowship touched the lives of more than 130 people in the community and at the same time, supported the work of a living artist; two things that speak to the core of RAM's mission.

Thank you to everyone who was involved, from the Fosters to the Fairview First Graders, RAM is proud to be offering such an engaging program.

Richmond's beloved artist, Sontina Reid is up for The People's Artist award, a nationwide contest, and needs your votes to secure it.

Sontina's artwork is unfettered, raw and exploratory. She paints with emotion, thought, and a vision which explores the universe. There is always more to her work; layers, symbols, hidden meaning. She is a visionary, a time traveler, a kind soul, and an amazing artist.

You can cast 1 free vote per day or add some more votes with a donation.
