JCHS grad wins award (05/04/07)
Taking Note
Autumn Shannon, the daughter of Mike and Wilberta Shannon of Dunkirk, has won the Greiner Art Purchase Award at Hanover College. She is a senior art major.
The award was established in the 1960s by Mary Louise Grenier, a Madison resident and artist. Through her endowment, a student work of art is purchased by the college each year to be put on permanent display at the Hanover College Library.
Shannon's winning entry is a sculptured chair titled "Impression," made of layered plywood with carving.
