LOGAN – Each year the Dane G. Hansen Museum Board requests the services of two qualified individuals to select twelve (12) winners and two (2) alternates from crafters taking part in the annual Hansen Arts and Crafts Fair. These chosen crafters become our “Artists of the Month” for the next year.

The Dane G. Hansen Museum is pleased to announce the 45th Annual Hansen Arts & Crafts “Artists of the Month” winners: Dede Elsen, Kearney, NE; Laura & Dustin Agan, McCook, NE; Rick Thompson, Glade, KS; Paula Rumback, Oakley, KS; Angie Berens, Colby, KS; Gail Britt, Atwood, KS; Nancy Elting, Lincoln, NE; Patty Drake, Colby, KS; Gerald Thyfault, Hays, KS; Leslie LeMon, Lebanon, KS; Allen Riggs, Hill City, KS; and Debbie Tobias and Cheryl Steinert, Lyons, KS. Robert Litson, LaCrosse, KS and Virgil Uhrich, WaKeeney, KS were selected as alternates.

Crafters are selected for their uniqueness, creativity, presentation, individual art form, and excellence of craft. As a winner of this prestigious award, each received a double wall stainless steel vacuum insulated tumbler engraved with a declaration of their award and the 45th Annual Hansen Museum’s Arts & Crafts Fair logo. Additionally, their craft will be exhibited and sold in the Museum for an entire month during the next calendar year. Congratulations, winners. Your dedication to excellence has paid off!
