Fashion/Design AwardProfessional Sewing and Design Instructor Vicky Nolan, won the Denver Fashion MasterMind award. “The goal and the vision that Westword chose to support through our MasterMind award was opening access to the tools and resources people need to express themselves, without any corporation, committee or individual determining who is and is not worthy of such an opportunity" (Calhoun 43). Vicky was awarded $3000, which she plans to use on a student project.
Vicky was the unanimous and obvious choice of the four previous winners of last year’s fashion/design MasterMind award. The Artopia Award Ceremony, fashion show, and art gallery was held at Club Vinyl on Saturday February 23, 2009 where many former students participated. Vicky Nolan has been a passionate instructor at Emily Griffith Opportunity School for the past 24 years since 1985 and continues to support her students through their fashion projects and endeavors. Opportunity Schools’ Sewing and Design students have participated in Frock Out Denver, Fashion Lab, and Emily Griffith’s Birthday with a fashion show. Stay tuned for other projects and events created by our ever blossoming Professional Sewing and Design Students. Opportunity School is very fortunate to have visionary instructors, like Vicky Nolan, making a difference in students lives.
