Passionate. Single-minded in achieving goals. Magnetic. Loyal. Do these qualities describe a Scorpio you know? ♏

Instagram, 🙌 Congratulations to our friend @CarrieMaeWeems—artist, Portland Art Museum Trustee, and Portland native, on receiving a National Medal of Arts!
On Monday, President Joseph R. Biden presented the 2022 and 2023 National Medals of Arts to 20 recipients in conjunction with the National Humanities Medals.
The National Medal of Arts is the highest award given to artists by the federal government. It is awarded by the President to those deserving of special recognition for their outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, support, and availability of the arts in the U.S.
In a statement, Weems said, “As the first African American female visual artist to receive the National Medal of Arts in recognition for my contributions is profoundly humbling and a great honor. I thank my colleagues, along with the many other great women artists of color who came before me, widened the path and took the heat, but unfortunately were not recognized for their tremendous achievements.”
