National Security Programs hosted its first-ever art show to celebrate the artistic talents of team members across the organization. An opening reception was held on May 18, with Deborah Frincke, associate Labs director of National Security Programs, and division center directors in attendance. The reception included a coffee bar, a live performance by Tammy Brown and Mellisa Heller from Sandia Singers and an in-person showing of the artwork.
“This warm-hearted event was a great opportunity to celebrate the artistic talent of our workforce, stepping away from our daily work and enjoying the creativity of our colleagues outside their day jobs. We clearly need to make this a new annual tradition,” Deborah said.
The art show, organized by Program Communications Specialist Auri Atencio, showcased 22 artists and 56 works of art, with mediums ranging from crocheted dolls to jewelry, paintings and stained glass.
“The art show was a great way to get a glimpse at our coworkers’ lives outside of work. I was honored to be an artist in our first showcase,” mechanical engineer Stephanie Bouchey said.
The art show was so well received that the division plans to make it an annual event.
