Fred Stonehouse, a professor with the Art Department, received the Creative Arts Award, while Leslie Smith III, an associate professor with the Art Department, earned the Emily Mead Baldwin Award in the Creative Arts.

Grants are split into three categories: Arts Faculty Research, Arts Faculty and Staff Outreach, and Undergraduate and Graduate Student Achievement in the Arts.

Others from across campus who were recognized are: Anna Campbell, assistant professor with the Department of Gender & Women’s Studies, received the Edna Wiechers Arts in Wisconsin Award; Sherry Wagner-Henry, the director and a faculty associate of the Bolz Center for Arts Administration, earned the Joyce J. and Gerald A.
