Congratulations to University of the Arts professor Don Miller, who won NICHE magazine's Arts Educator of the Year award, which was announced this week at the Buyers Market of American Craft convention held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Also among the NICHE Award winners is UArts' Mantile Dartium, whose A Reference to the Subjectivity of a Genius woodwork (pictured) won a Student award.

Some details about the contest:

Sponsored by NICHE magazine, the exclusive trade publication for independent retailers of American craft, the NICHE Awards program recognizes excellence and innovation in the U.S. and Canadian fine craft industry. Professional and student craft artists submitted nearly 2,000 entries for the 2010 competition. In December 2009, NICHE magazine announced the 161 professional finalists and 70 student finalists, who were invited to display their work at the Buyers Market trade show, which ended this week.

Big ups!
