This impactful award wouldn’t happen without community support.

David and Paula Conning, owners of Clerkson’s Home Store and the namesake of the award, are strong supporters of the arts. They are continuing the emerging artist award that was created in Murray Clerkson’s name through a donation from his estate. Thank you David & Paula!

The prestigious Murray Clerkson Award celebrates the accomplishments of an outstanding, local, emerging, visual artist who demonstrated potential for significant contribution to the arts. It is given to an individual who has shown courage and determination in becoming an artist.
