Congratulations to Fife painter Jeremy Mangan, the 2009 winner of the Fife artist Jeremy Mangan is the winner of the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation's second annual "Foundation of
Art Award." The award, now in its second year, was announced this week, and rewards a Pierce County artist with $7,500 and a commissioned piece, to be unveiled in fall.
Mangan is a painter, professional ice sculptor and art handler at the Tacoma Art Museum. He received his Masters of Fine Arts in Painting from Hunter College, City University of New York, and was recently selected as the featured artist at The Congressional Club's First Lady's Luncheon, for which he was invited to create a painting to represent Washington.
The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation awards over $3 million annually to students and non-profit organizations in Pierce County supporting philanthropic efforts. The Foundation of Art Award was inaugurated last year, and the winner is selected by a committee of local art professionals. Other nominees for this year were Sean Alexander, Marc Dombrosky, Spencer Ebbinga, Jeremy
Gregory, Ellen Ito, Janet Marcavage, Joe Miller, Yuki Nakamura, Chandler
O'Leary, James Porter, and Holly Senn. Last year's award was won by painter Chris Sharp.
"Thriving arts and culture are one of the key elements we have identified as necessary for our vision of a Vibrant Community," said Rose Lincoln Hamilton, President & CEO of the GTCF.
