The Biggie Award, formerly known as the Andrew D. Smith Award, goes out every summer to a talented, returning Youth Apprentice who goes above and beyond on the jobsite. It’s officially described as follows: The Biggie Award is given to a returning Apprentice who has proven themselves as a role model to their peers; who is dedicated to making a real difference in their community through their contributions; and who has shown a commitment to the arts and their future. Ultimately, their dedication to ArtWorks goes above and beyond, and their future in the arts—whether through a pursuit in the field or through their involvement—is guaranteed.

ArtWorks Founder Tamara Harkavy Featured in Latest Cincinnati Arts Book |
|
These artists, philanthropists, executive leaders, volunteers, collectors and advocates — both past and present — have helped define Greater Cincinnati by being here, working here and sharing their talent with us and the world.
"Tamara Harkavy has always colored outside the line," John Faherty writes in Tamara's feature. "For this, we can all be grateful."
The book also features many ArtWorks friends, including Board Member Pam Kravetz, Board Member Emeritus Sara Vance Waddell, and ArtWorks mural subjects and designers Rosemary Clooney, Edie McKee Harper, Ruth Lyons, Elizabeth Nourse, Mamie Smith, and Woman's' Art Club of Cincinnati.
This book arrives just in time to celebrate the ratification of the U.S. 19th Amendment, which made women’s suffrage the law of the land. Edited by Kathy Merchant, former CEO of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation, and produced by ArtsWave, it features the work of more than 30 predominantly female authors.
Proceeds will support continued advancement and innovation by women artists and supporters.
