On this past Saturday, my former theatre professor P. William Hutchinson was Awarded the Distiniguished Service to the Arts Award. He helped to found (along with David Eliet) the Trinity Rep/Rhode Island College M.A. Program (of which I am a graduate!) Brown recently got into the act to offer an MFA with Trinity, thus displacing Rhode Island College.

Previous winners of the Distinguished Service Award include Chris Van Allsburg, Paula Vogel, David Macaulay, Rose Weaver, Richard Cumming, Denny Moers and Tim Philbrick.





Also honored by a Pell Award was Maurice Sendak, famed children's artist and author of the book Where the Wild Things Are If you don't know the book, you should get a copy!
