Donald Revell, a poet from Las Vegas, and Janet Koenen, a poet from Zephyr Cove, each received literary fellowships.

A pair of Henderson musicians, Nils Stefan Karlsson, a pianist, and Stephen Caplan, an oboe player, each received performing arts fellowships.

Ben Parks, a ceramic artist from Tuscarora, and Michael Sarich, a mixed media artist from Reno each received visual arts fellowships.

Beth Sandoz, program service manager

for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada, has been named assistant program manager for the Clark County READS program. She will work directly under program manager Kay Carl and will be responsible for training and recruiting volunteer reading tutors.
