Congratulations to our partners over at Avid Core on their Hermes Creative 2024 Gold Award! Thank you for the award winning contributions to the Los Angeles City/County Native American Indian Commission's work.

For decades, beginning with the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, the Olympics included competitions in painting, sculpture, architecture, music and literature — a “pentathlon of the Muses,” as Pierre de Coubertin, the founder and leader of the modern Olympics, called them. “From now on they will be part of each Olympiad, on a par with the athletic competitions,” Coubertin said. Thousands of artists, some of them famous, most of them not, submitted works. More than 150 Olympic arts medals were awarded, the same medals that athletes received. At the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, 400,000 people visited the monthlong exhibition of entries. https://lnkd.in/gBcEdG6Y
