Congrats!

Jack Rasmussen

The Washington Project for the Arts has selected my good friend Jack Rasmussen as the 2009 recipient of the Alice Denney Award for Support of Contemporary Art.

The award will be presented on Thursday, February 26, 2009, at 6:30 pm during the WPA Auction Preview Night event in the Abramson Family Recital Hall at American University’s Katzen Arts Center.

The event is free and open to the public but a RSVP is requested by February 25 to (202)234-7103x4 or aatkinson@wpadc.org.

Rasmussen's work as curator and director of the beautiful Katzen Museum has been nothing short of spectacular and a lesson on how a museum can combine local, regional and international shows.

A well done to Jack!

Thanks for your kind words. By the way, that photo was taken by the great Paul Feinberg for an article he was doing on hangover cures for Washingtonian Magazine in about 1976. Alice Denney's print "Autobiography" by Robert Rauschenberg hangs behind me, and that is root beer I'm drinking. Yeeeck!
