Alumnus Joe O’Brien has received the Hester Merwin Ayers Art Achievement Award, which honors a member of the Illinois Wesleyan University senior class for outstanding achievement during four years of undergraduate study in art. O’Brien is quoted as saying, “I see the faculty at Illinois Wesleyan University awarding me the Hester Merwin Ayers Art Achievement Award as a sign of encouragement. (It’s an indication) that my studio practice over the last four years has developed well, and that I should continue pushing myself and my studio practice forward in the same way.”
