                        Friday, October 4, 2013

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Teller Street Gallery and Studios for receiving the 2013 Wheat Ridge 
Cultural Commission Award.
  This award recognizes a business which has made an impact on our 
community by promoting culture and the arts, and supporting 
opportunities in art education for all ages.
  Teller Street Gallery and Studios has been in business for a little 
over one year and is a member of the Wheat Ridge Business Association. 
Being in the business of fun and creativity, they love participating in 
local events, such as hosting kids' art activities at the 2012 
Carnation Festival, Ridge at 38 Event, and Wheat Fest. Teller Street 
made the backdrop for the photo booth for the August 15th Cruiser 
Crawl, and the trophies for the 2013 Carnation Festival Chili Cook-Off. 
They also have the privilege of providing after-school art programs for 
kids from the Wheat Ridge 5-8 School, and judging the Everett Middle 
School art show last spring.
  In addition to encouraging art in the community, they enjoy 
supporting local charities and organizations such as the Wheat Ridge 
Feed the Future Backpack Program and hosting fundraisers like the 
painting party for Saints Peter and Paul School's silent auction kick-
off.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Teller Street Gallery and 
Studios for this well deserved recognition by the City of Wheat Ridge 
and the Wheat Ridge Business Association. Thank you for your dedication 
to our community.
