USSA To Award Sport Artists Of The Year

DAPHNE, Ala — Daphne-based United States Sports Academy’s (USSA’s) annual Awards of Sport program will be held on the academy’s campus on November 10 at 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend for free as the institution hosts figurative sculptor Brett Grill and contemporary painter James Peterson as its latest Sport Artists of the Year. Since 1984, the Academy’s Sport Artist of the Year Award has been given to an individual who captures the spirit and life of sport so that future generations can relive the drama of today’s competition. The recipient may use a variety of art media, including film, video or sculpture, to depict the breadth and scope of both the agony and the ecstasy of sport.
