The Everson announced last week that Robert Doucette and George W. Curry will be the recipients of the 2011 Everson Medal, awarded at the Annual Everson Picnic at 6 p.m. June 16 on the Everson Community Plaza.
The Everson Summer Picnic honors those who have been pillars of the community and have shaped Central New York through their gifts of leadership and strong conviction that art and creative expression enhance our quality of life.
Steven Kern, Everson executive director, cited Curry and Doucette’s “visionary work” that “transformed the heart of Syracuse with the re-development of Armory Square, providing a platform for arts and culture to thrive downtown.”
Reservations are required to participate in this memorable arts inspired evening. Tickets are available for $200 per person. Tables, advertising and sponsorship opportunities are also available. As one of the Everson’s most important annual fundraisers, proceeds from the picnic directly benefit the museum’s special exhibition and education programming. To make reservations call 474-6064.
