FROM SUBMITTED REPORTS
The San Marcos Arts Commission honored individuals and groups who have contributed to the arts in San Marcos at its annual arts advocacy reception last month at Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos.
The commission honored Deanna Badgett, a longtime local violin teacher; Billi London-Gray, the gallery curator at Texas State University’s Honors College; Ron and Marie Jager, who led efforts to restore and operate the Price Seniors Center; and the LBJ-MLK Crossroads Memorial Committee, whose members worked under the chairmanship of Texas State instructor Diane McCabe to commission the downtown sculpture honoring former President Lyndon B. Johnson and civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
“Art is boundless, and it is the mark of a great community when public art is available and valued,” said Lisa Morris, the city’s recreation program director who serves as the staff liaison to the arts commission.
The event was attended by past recipients Ophelia Vasquez-Philo and Linda Kelsey-Jones, as well as representatives from community organizations and programs that include El Centro, Indigenous Cultures Institute, Art Squared, Friends of the Fine Arts, San Marcos Arts Advocates, LBJ Museum and the LBJ-MLK Crossroads Memorial Committee.
