Betty Murray Award

Betty Murray was instrumental in reaching agreement with the City of Weatherford to lease the old Firehouse to WAA for a dollar a year. She spearheaded the move & helped create the Firehouse Gallery, where WAA met for several years. There was space for meetings, classes, a gallery for displaying members’ work and shows, including the Peach Festival Art Show. Betty always worked hard to promote WAA. In her memory, this award is given in June each year to a WAA member who exhibits extraordinary commitment to the Weatherford Art Association.
