James Paulsen Receives 2011/2012 People’s Choice Award

The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) announced today that Minnesota artist James Paulsen is the recipient of the 2011/2012 People's Choice Award for his bronze sculpture,
"Desert Mother." The award is part of Northglenn's Art on Parade program. The program features on-loan, outdoor sculpture exhibited at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park for one year. The public votes
for their favorite, and NAHF works toward purchasing the piece for permanent display in the City of Northglenn. NAHF has already secured funding for the piece from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities
District (SCFD).

"Desert Mother" is bronze, 32" high, and will be purchased for $7,500. James Paulsen is a self-taught artist. In his work, Paulsen explores merging the beauty he sees in the natural world with the
expressiveness of clay and bronze. Most of Paulsen's work is in galleries or private collections across the country, with public commissions in Georgia and Minnesota. For more information about
Paulsen, visit www.paulsenbronze.com.

The piece will remain on display in E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park through May 2012, at which time six new sculptures on loan will be installed. The permanent location for "Desert Mother" will be
announced in the summer of 2012. For more information about Art on Parade or NAHF, call Michael Stricker at (303) 450-8727.

The Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) is a 501(c)3 organization that provides funding for quality youth theatre, public art, and other cultural endeavors in our community. NAHF was founded in 1990.
