Each year I am blessed with outstanding volunteers. This show would certainly be impossible without them. On behalf of TVAA I want to thank each of you for your generous contributions of time and effort to this important project. Volunteers include Elizabeth Everist-Romeo, Amanda Farris, Greg Fieser, Janis Genius, Gwynn Getto, Lorraine Hayes, Candy Howard, Maryanne Meltzer, Ken Moore, Stan and Virginia Petrosius, Nga Phan, Bert Poole, Harry Shields, and Marie Van Arsdale. A special thank you to Greg Metz and his staff at the University of Texas at Dallas School of Arts and Humanities especially Kristina Theis, Kathryn Evans, Thomas Williams, and John Pomara for all their help.

I want to express my gratitude to the students for participating; the teachers for offering inspiration and patience; and the parents for supporting these young artists.
