On Nov. 17 Central West End Savings and Loan sponsored a reception honoring young local artists. High school students from the Honors Art Program of the St. Louis Public Schools and from Rosati-Kain were awarded certificates of merit by Mayor Jim Conway. Also present at the ceremony were Dr. Wentz, Superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, and Msgr. Librecht for the Archdiocese of St. Louis.
The students had contributed sketches of St. Louis architecture to illustrate the pages of a calendar which was the brainchild of Kathleen Hamilton. Ms. Hamilton sees the calendar as a way to celebrate the city while giving exposure and encouragement to young artists.
The 1981 calendar, Scenes of St. Louis, is being distributed free of charge at CWE’s 415 DeBaliviere location. Chosen in the competition were drawings of the Ronald MacDonald House by Patti Harris of the 6500 block of Corbett and the St. Louis Art Museum by Sue Santen of 6100 McPherson. Copies of all thirteen sketches were presented to representatives of each of the institutions or private homes depicted.
