Aug. 31 is the final deadline for artists to apply for the $10,000 Marty Zewick Artist Award. The award is given in honor of the late artist Marty Zewick, a champion of the arts and one of the founders of the Edom Art Festival, a Texas event organized by artists now in it’s 49th year, as well as the Edom Craft Community. She was one half of the jewelry-making team Zeke & Marty, and was a lifelong creator and intimately knew the struggles of establishing and sustaining an art practice.

The Canton Eaglettes had to put in some extra time on the court last week, clashing with a talented Rusk squad that finished last season with a trip to the playoffs. Canton would ultimately prevail in the show down, storming back from a sluggish start to claim a five-set victory.
