Artist John Meehan was awarded the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences’ “Art and Exhibition Committee Award,” the highest honor presented for the LBIF 20202 Plein Air Plus/Island Life Exhibition, currently in the Blai Gallery through November.

“Mr. Meehan was selected not for an individual painting, but for the body of work submitted, truly inspiring and beautiful works of art,” said Daniella Kerner, LBIF’s executive director.
