Tuesday, August 1, 2006, 6:00-8:00PM, The Municipal Art Society: "Presentation of the Evangeline Blashfield Award" to South Bronx Community activist Majora Carter at the Evangeline Blashfield Fountain, 409 East 59th Street, followed by a reception at Guastavino's Restaurant. Majora Carter,the Executive Director/Founder of Sustainable South Bronx and a 2005 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship has been awarded the 2006 Evangeline Blashfield Award by the Municipal Art Society on this momentous evening. All of Majora’s accomplishments — and they are legion — have grown from her notion that one’s self-image is influenced by one’s surroundings, and therefore those surroundings must be beautiful. This insight is remarkably in keeping with Evangeline Blashfield’s own convictions — making it all the more appropriate that the MAS honor her with the Blashfield Award.
