          HONOR ROLL 
The IC/UN Program Honor Roll is the recognition of an artist who has created a substantial and significant body of work that supports UN Platforms, especially the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's)

It is with extreme pride that I announce Karen Frostig PhD as the International Caucus/UN Program 2017  Honor Roll Awardee .  There are not enough superlatives to describe her contributions to Women's Caucus for Art and women's issues, as well as the healthy and affirming light she is shining into some of the darkest recesses of our collective human history.
