will celebrate their 20th year of supporting Alameda women through their discoveries in art at the Alameda Museum from Aug. 10 through 31.
The opening ceremony will take place Saturday, Aug. 10 at 1 p.m. The closing ceremony will be held Saturday, Aug. 31, also at 1 p.m. The three weeks in between will showcase the work of many AWA members in a wide variety of mediums.
The exhibit includes the Women’s Wall of Art, an AWA silent auction. Each piece is cre-ated for and donated to the auc-tion by AWA members. The silent auction will last throughout the exhibition. Proceeds will bene-fit the AWA Student Art Awards Program, which was established to recognize and encourage local students who have shown prom-ise in visual arts.
This event offers an opportu-nity to see the work of local women artists and speak to them about their artwork and creative process.
The exhibition features the work of Lily J. Abraham, Kate Anderson, Gretchen Blais, Bonnie Randall Boller, Jane Crescent Brundage, Renee Doty, Patricia Edith, Mi’Chelle Fredrick, Loretta Franke Valero, Wendy Lee Gadzuk, N. Teddy Goldsworthy-Hanner, Deborah Griffin, Miriam Infinger, Barbara James, Deborah Kimsey, Colene Leong, Christine Lyons, Karen McCloud, Glenna Mills, Jeanie Moran, Mary Loughran, Thelma Richard, Joan Tharp, Leah Virsik and Nicole Wakeman.
The exhibition will also include the book launch of Alameda Women Artists Celebrate 20 Years. The book features artwork and commentary from members span-ning the 20 years. Copies may be purchased at both receptions.
AWA is an organization of artists dedicated to fellowship among artists, artistic and person-al growth and professional exhibi-tion and sales. Alameda Museum is located at 2324 Alameda Ave. between Park and Oak streets. The exhibition is open to the pub-
lic Wednesday through Friday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4 p.m. and on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sun Staff ReportsThe city of Alameda Housing
Authority received the prestigious National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) Awards of Merit on Tuesday, July 24, for its environ-mentally conscious Independence Plaza landscape renovation.
“NAHRO members have been leading the way with innovative solutions to address resident ser-vices, management and operations, affordable housing preservation and sustainable development, and economic revitalization in their communities,” said NAHRO presi-dent Betsey Martens. “They have stepped up and taken advantage of opportunities to find new and cre-ative ways to address local housing needs, and we are proud to recog-nize their achievements.”
Independence Plaza, a 186-unit senior citizen apartment complex built in 1991, featuring two large ponds and water fountains, expan-sive areas of lawn, shrubs and trees.
Over the past 20 years, the costs to maintain the ponds and water fountains, the excessive use of water and overall decline of the lawn, shrubs and trees drove the Housing Authority to refurbish the site. They added more than 5,000 new drought-tolerant native plants that encompass current Bay-friendly landscape practice, save water, preserves resources and provide a peaceful environ-ment for residents and their visi-tors to enjoy.
The 2013 NAHRO Awards of Merit recognize outstand-ing achievement in housing and

The 29th Annual Park Street Art & Wine Faire once again proved to
be the “Best Annual Event in Alameda.” The weekend event drew more than 100,000 friends and families to the Park Street Business District to enjoy the summer afternoon sun along with a fabulous vari-ety of arts and crafts vendors, tasty festival foods, cold beers and lush wines, and a couple of lively children’s areas.
As part of the weekend festivities, there were also two stages with a number of popu-lar Bay Area bands playing classic rock and R&B favor-ites. Local bands The Perfect Beast (formerly Bumpy Road) and The Ben Luis Group were featured in the line-up this year while The Sun Kings, one of Alameda’s most endearing bands, packed the street at the
end of the show with a perfor-mance that got festival-goers of all ages dancing and singing to classic Beatles songs.
