INVITING THE WINNERS OF THE 2006 JEAN LANEY HARRIS FOLK HERITAGE AWARDS AND THE MEMBERS OF THE 2006 JEAN LANEY HARRIS FOLK HERITAGE AWARDS ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO ATTEND A JOINT SESSION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE IN THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 2006, AT 12:00 NOON OR A TIME TO BE DETERMINED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE AND THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE, RECOGNIZING AND COMMENDING THE 2006 JEAN LANEY HARRIS FOLK HERITAGE AWARD WINNERS FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOLK ART IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND INVITING THE WINNERS OF THE 2006 ELIZABETH O'NEILL VERNER AWARDS TO ATTEND A JOINT SESSION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND THE SENATE IN THE HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 2006 JEAN LANEY HARRIS FOLK HERITAGE AWARDS CEREMONY TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE 2006 ELIZABETH O'NEILL VERNER AWARDS WINNERS FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENTS AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ARTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, in 1987, the General Assembly created the South Carolina Folk Heritage Awards, recently renamed the Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards, to be presented each year by the General Assembly to South Carolina folk artists who have used their lives to create beauty and meaning for their communities and for their State in ways that are significant because their work has lasted often for hundreds of years; and

Whereas, the winners of the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards are citizens who have maintained and enriched the lives of all persons of their communities and of the State through their unique talents and through their substantial contributions to the traditional heritage of South Carolina; and

Whereas, the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards Advisory Committee has performed its duties admirably; and

Whereas, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, an artist, teacher, writer, and educator, achieved an international reputation for her etchings and pastels capturing the spirit and beauty of South Carolina. Her drawings of South Carolina residences, churches, and street-life portraits are recognized throughout the world for their artistic merit and unique color hues; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Arts Commission annually presents the Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Awards to recognize and encourage the arts throughout the State. The Verner Awards are recognized as the highest honor the State gives in the arts; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Arts Commission has performed its duties admirably in selecting the 2006 Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Awards recipients. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly invite the winners of the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards and the members of the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards Advisory Committee to attend a joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the Hall of the House of Representatives at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, May 3, 2006, or a time mutually convenient for both bodies, as determined by the Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, and that the members of the General Assembly recognize and commend the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award winners for their outstanding contributions to folk art in South Carolina.

Immediately following the completion of the 2006 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Awards ceremony, the House of Representatives and Senate shall meet in the Hall of the House of Representatives for the presentation of the 2006 Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Awards, and that the members of the General Assembly recognize and commend the 2006 Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award winners for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the arts in South Carolina.
