National Public Housing Museum

Dear Derval,

HELLO!!!!!!

I am writing on behalf of the Museum and our partners at NYCHA and the Public Housing Community Fund to let you know that YOU ARE THE WINNER of our Art Competition.

Thank you for your participation in the NPHM Art Competition.

The distinguished panel of judges included the Derrick Adams, the internationally renowned artist; Cecilia Amelani, the Director and Chief Curator of High Line Art; and Khaliah Ali, the activist and daughter of Muhammad Ali. They were all so impressed by your work.

Thank you for sharing your story and your art with us. We are happy to award you the $500 gift card that we can send to you at your address.

I would love to arrange a zoom with you to discuss the next steps and also arrange how to get you the plane tickets etc…

In a world with so much un-making, we value you, a maker and creator, and are so glad you are in the world making it more beautiful.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any additional questions and let me know when you might be free to zoom or call.

Love, Lisa
