Congratulations to artist Gene Barbera who was awarded the Waveny Park Conservancy prize of $500.  His piece Waveny Sledding will be featured on the Conservancy’s holiday card.  

The exhibit will also feature the winning photographs of Preservation Connecticut‘s “Picturing History: Historic Landscapes of Connecticut” contest. This contest was held in celebration of Frederick Law Olmsted’s 200th birthday, a man considered to be the father of American landscape architecture.
