This special award honors the spirit of artist Edie Kellar Mahaney (1930-2017), the founding director of the Munce Art Center in 1981 and the abstract expressionist painter whose canvases expressed pure joy. This award will be chosen by Edie’s daughter (Lolly Mahaney) and/or her son (Jackson Mahaney) each year before the opening date of the First Come, First Hung exhibition.
