Honors In Art World
Marion Sanford and Gene Alden Walker, of Warren and New York, are represented currently in several national art exhibitions. Miss Sanford was awarded the Allied Artists' Gold Medal of Honor for "Harvest" at the Allied Artists' annual which opened on Saturday, October 27, at the New York Historical Society. On the following day, at the opening of the National Arts Club, Miss Sanford's "Tiny" was awarded the Sculpture Prize of one hundred dollars.

Miss Walker is represented in the Allied Artists by a painting, "End of Summer," and in the Artists' League by a portrait, "Joan." At the recent Bridgeport League annual, her "Intermission" was given the First Soule Award for figure painting. One of Miss Walker's portraits, "Deborah -- Summer 1942", was chosen by Mr. John O'Connor, Jr., acting director of the Carnegie Institute's Department of Fine Arts, for the "Paintings in the United Staes, 1945", formerly the famous "International", held annually at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh.
