About this years artist: Lane duPont has been a professional illustrator for over 30 years.He attended Paier School of Art in New Haven,CT and The School of Visual Arts in New York City where he began his career.He has created images for a multitude of national and global corporations. Having been influenced by his father's profession as an architect,his work has evolved from natural media into digital blending a warm realism with technical line work. Lane lives in Newport,RI.When not illustrating he can be found behind a camera,on a kiteboard or composing music in his studio. National Public Works Week (NPWW) is a celebration of the tens of thousands of men and women in North America who provide and maintain the infrastructure and services collectively known as public works. Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association(APWA)in 1960,NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life.The Week seeks to enhance the prestige of the often-unsung heroes of our society-the professionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedication. APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take the opportunity to make their stories known in their communities.Over the years the observances have taken many forms,including parades,displays of public works equipment, high school essay contests,open houses,programs for civic organizations and media events.The occasion is marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors,as well Some special highlights of NPWW include a United States Senate resolution affirming the first National Public Works Week in 1960,letters of acknowledgment from Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson,and a Presidential Proclamation signed by John F.Kennedy in 1962. From the beginning,the selection of a Top Ten list of exceptional public works professionals has been a cornerstone of NPWW.The program has identified more than 400 men and women who reflect the highest standards of professional conduct for public works officials.These honorees have been recognized for discharging critical responsibilities in connection to the design,construction,maintenance and/or operation of major public works projects or activities in large and small municipalities throughout North America.Often their accomplishments are particularly noteworthy in relation to the limited manpower and financial resources available to them. National Public Works Week is observed each year during the third full week of May Through NPWW and other efforts,APWA seeks to raise the public's awareness of public works issues and to increase confidence in public works employees who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for present and future generations. The National Public Works Week How-To Guide is one of several resources the Association makes available to agencies to assist them in the development and implementation of their own individual celebrations.With this tool,an agency will learn how to create proclamations and solicit endorsements from government officials,develop media and press releases,write editorials and articles,and generate material for speeches.There are also several suggestions for celebratory activities to be implemented at the local level. However you choose to celebrate NPWW this year,APWA is proud to be a resource for you.You deserve the recognition.
