Temple University recommends Long Island sculptor for prestigious grant.
Long Island’s own Slim Cook has been awarded a prestigious Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts grant. Mr. Cook was recommended for the grant by Temple University where Slim received an MFA degree. The grant was used to finance the construction and installation of Slim’s sculpture, “The Roots of Creativity” on the grounds of the Roslyn School outside Philadelphia. The sculpture is now the centerpiece of the school’s Jubilee Garden commemorating the 75th year of the founding of the school. A dedication ceremony will be held Friday, May 23, 2003 from 1:45 to 2:45 pm at the school.
This project was made possible through the 5-County Arts Fund, a Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts program of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. It is funded by the citizens of Pennsylvania through an annual legislative appropriation, and administered locally by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. Additional support for the 5-County Arts Fund is provided by the Delaware River Port Authority and PECO Energy. For additional information about these grants, visit the Cultural Alliance online.
This project is supported in part with funds from the Special Opportunity Stipend (S.O.S.) Program through the New York Foundation for the Arts, administered on Long Island by the East End Arts Council.
