The Director of The Kreeger Museum, Ms. Judy A. Greenberg, is proud to announce that Washington artist Ledelle Moe is the 2008 Kreeger Museum Artist Award winner. Moe was chosen from a group of three finalists, by a distinguished, five-person jury. In the spirit of David and Carmen Kreeger, The Kreeger Museum established The Kreeger Museum Artist Award in 2004 to recognize, biennially, a Washington area artist deserving of recognition by consistently demonstrating artistic excellence, exceptional creativity and whose life and work has significantly and positively influenced the Washington, DC arts community.

The Kreeger Museum would like to acknowledge the other nominated finalists, Dan Steinhilber and Yuriko Yamaguchi. Moe will receive a $20,000 prize, underwritten by Chevy Chase Bank, which will be presented at a reception and award presentation at The Kreeger Museum in October 2008. A selection of her work will be on view at the Museum from October 3 through November 29, 2008.
