Fandangle Bead Store, i.e., "the little bead shop that could", just found out today that we were selected as a 2009 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts "MUSE Awards" semi-finalist! What are the MUSE Awards? The Muse Awards honor extraordinary creativity in Virginia business and recognize the major role that creativity plays in Virginia industry. According to Eddie Gugelman of SunTrust Bank Mid-Atlantic and chair of the VMFA Business Council which sponsors the MUSE Awards, “Creativity is a powerful yet often unrecognized component of success, and its application within the Virginia business community is helping to shape the commonwealth into a diverse and dynamic economic region." Business organizations, professional groups, and business and professional councils in Virginia are eligible to nominate themselves or other for-profit Virginia businesses that practice unique and creative approaches. “Just as VMFA’s collection celebrates the best of creative expression for the past 6,000 years, the Muse Awards celebrate creative genius and inspire Virginia companies to lead the way,” Gugelman says.
Winners of the 2009 VMFA MUSE Award will be announced at The Muse UN-GALA: An Awards Ceremony unlike any other...The Muse program culminates with the Un-Gala awards celebration, which has become a must-attend event for the "Who's-Who" among both the vanguard and brightest new talents in the corporate community. The theme of the party changes each year, and is closely guarded by the Muse committee until the night of the event. Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 30, 2009 and be sure to look for the Bead Empress and Sparkie "The Bead Boy" at the Un-Gala!
