Marion Vannett Ridgway Award

Marion Vannett Ridgway was an artist's representative in the mid-20th century New York publishing community.

Ms. Park's wish was to continue the spirit of generosity and encouragement which Marion gave her young clients as they began their careers in publishing.

Ridgway's office was located at 299 Madison Avenue in Manhattan and represented commercial artists, photographers and writers for publishers and advertising companies.

Created in 1992 as a memorial award, the first reception was held May 25, 1993, at the Doral Hotel in New York City.

Earlier administrators include Elizabeth Park, Dennis Nolan and Mark Shasha.
