Kevin Feige to Receive the Sklar Creative Visionary Award on Nov. 7

Kevin Feige to Receive the Sklar Creative Visionary Award

My love for Marvel is evident everywhere. Here on the blog, I have a Marvel tab and category where I talk about all the movies and other Marvel and Marvel-related entertainment. At home, I have a full-size cutout of Thor to the right of my foyer, with Loki to my left. My car license plate is a personalized Thor phrase, and my left arm sports a tattoo of Thor’s mjolnir and Loki’s scepter. As an avid fan of the comics, I have an increasing collection and I of course have a Blu-ray copy of every single Marvel movie available, because thanks to Kevin Feige, the Marvel characters come to life in a way only Kevin can make happen.

Kevin’s got fans all over the world, and as the President of Marvel Studios, he is often recognized for his contributions to the cinematic marvels <see what I did there> that he puts on the big screen for us all to enjoy. On November 7, he is again being honored, this time as the recipient of the Sklar Creative Visionary Award.

They have an impressive long list of major sponsors, and as a recognized non-profit, they provide intensive art instruction along with college and career guidance to promising high school youth.

With the news being full of negative stories, art can help us rise above and enjoy beauty in our every day lives, and Ryman Arts helps young artists transform their own, and therefore our lives.
