On My Own Time Art Show

Date: September 3, 2007

Every year Ben E. Keith’s On My Own Time Art Show has been a great success with entries surpassing the previous year’s submissions. 2007 was no exception to the rule.

This year a new award was introduced entitled “Spirit of the Company” and was awarded to the artist thought to have captured the spirit of Ben E. Keith and its employees. “This is the spirit of a strong, service-oriented, forward thinking, loyal, persevering, family that takes pride in leadership and community beginning in the executive offices reverberating to the warehouses.”

The winner of the 2007 “Spirit of the Company” award received a gift card, an award, and will have the winning art piece prominently displayed at his branch with a plaque displaying the employee’s name and picture.

The 2007 “Spirit of the Company” award winner was “Moon Shine” – Works on Canvas – Hector Martinez.

Congratulations Hector!
