In 2007 Watershed initiated the Watershed LEGENDS Awards, which honors those artists in the field that have given significantly to those who follow. As an organization of artists, Watershed feels it appropriate to give honor to our colleagues who have given so much to our field. In 2007 we initiated our Legends Awards, with a committee of the board selecting awardees that we feel have given significantly. Our first awardees were Bill Daley, John Mason, and Karen Karnes. Watershed is hosting its second LEGENDS Gala to honor three "legends" in the field - James Melchert, Toshiko Takaezu, and Ruth Duckworth. The gala is scheduled for Friday, November 6 at the Arts Club of Chicago, and coincides with the SOFA Chicago weekend events November 5-8, 2009. More details to come!
