What seems like long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away I worked on the preliminary research for a multimedia exhibit memorializing and honoring the life of Ella Fountain Pratt, the maven and matriarch of the Durham Arts Council. This Thursday, June the 3rd that project will finally be unveiled during the 2010 Emerging Artist Awards ceremony in downtown Durham.

As part of the ceremony, they will be unveiling the new EFP Art Gallery and Exhibition Space upstairs at the D.A.C. In additon, the ladies at Minnows Media will be debuting a 20-minute video on the life of Ella Fountain which will be featured as part of the multimedia gallery.
