Congratulations to Ms Helen for winning the People's Choice Award at the "City Walls at City Hall" art competition at Bend City Hall. This competition is a uniquely-themed quarterly juried art show held at Bend City Hall and built around the overall theme of inspiring community with art. The competition is designed to support artists, advocate for the business development aspect of the arts and develop successful partnerships to promote the arts. This is the first year for the show which will hold a total of four competitions this year and to date Helen won the Judge's Prize in the first competition and the People's Choice award in the second!
The theme of the show she just competed in was “Growing Up – Bend Inspires Its Children: Our Future.” Artists where paired with organizations in the city that support the development of children in need and the goal was to have the artist meet with members of the organization and produce art that represents the mission of the organization.

Helen was paired with Healthy Families of the High Desert. The organizations website describes it as “… a voluntary home visiting program that assists families in giving their newborn children a "healthy start" in life. The program offers weekly intensive home visits for first birth, high-need families and a one-time welcome home visit to all families with newborns.”
Family – look closely you may see someone that you know in the images!
