Shane Pennington recently received the 2009 New Dallas Nine Award at         D Art Slam.  The original Dallas Nine were a special group of experimental artists that were leading exponents of the regionalist movement in the 1930s and 1940s.  D Magazine and f.i.g. have revived the spirit of the
original Nine with D Art Slam 2009.  Shane joins Pamela Chance, Sunny Jacquet, Jennifer Jones, David Leonard, Rich Morgan, Joshua Stone, Kathleen Wilke, and William Young as the New Dallas Nine and will be featured in August’s “Best of Big D” issue of D Magazine. [ more info]
