SNAG 2016 Volunteer Recognition Award
The SNAG Board has awarded the 2016 Volunteer Recognition Award to Boris Bally. Started in 2015 by the SNAG Board of Directors, the Award recognizes and publicly acknowledges a volunteer's contribution to SNAG.
Bally has been an enthusiastic and generous SNAG volunteer for many years. He has served on the Board of Directors and the Editorial Advisory Committee. Bally has participated in many SNAG community-led projects, most recently his "Ransom" project where he sold 100 of his brooches and asked the purchasers to take selfies wearing the piece they bought. He then donated a portion of the sales to SNAG as his personal way of giving back!
Bally will receive the Volunteer Recognition Award during this year's Membership Meeting at SNAGneXt. Read more |
 SNAG Links Preview
As we prepare for our Auction of Masterful Links during SNAGneXt, here's a sneak peek at another of the 2016 links:
The Messenger by Sarah Sitarz
Sterling silver, 18k gold bi-metal, diamond
Crows are the connection and representation of Sarah Sitarz's loss of her cousin 15 years ago. Continuing to keep him alive in spirit, Sitarz's link is the first example of the imagery being included in her work. Sitarz started Quench Jewelry Arts in 2012, located in Minneapolis, MN.
