This category is concerned with project oriented activities, such as print exchanges, memberships, grants, and special awards. Such activities
don't necessarily contribute directly to the creative body of work, but still need to be mentioned. Often, recognitions are not sought, but accumulate
as a by-product of the work. Some awards are lifetime achievements, special recognition of an overview of one's career.

Many of these memberships have expired, with only the exception of ADOGI, and SAGA. The challenge of memberships is keeping fresh content of creative works and having the time to participate with traveling shows and print exchanges. Print exchanges are labor intensive, often require from 50 to 100 proofs in an edition. These are often theme based which are sometimes difficult to integrate already existing personal concepts.

These grants were largely funded by East Tennessee State University, giving faculty the resouces to work outside their normal classroom routines. Exploring new concepts in art is particularly interesting when collaborating with students in their projects. One often finds answers to personal explorations, expecially with assisting others.
