On Thursday, April
27, the Canvas staff at Missouri Western hosted a launch of its
2017 issue.

Canvas editor-in-chief Arniecea Johnson opened the
event, welcoming contributors, staff, family, and friends, and then Canvas staff members Sam Duryee and Stephaney Ferguson
presented the traditional genre awards: Mariam Riddle won for her poem
"Bounce" in Canvas, Britne Misner won
for her story "Sweet Margaret," and Shiloh Laxson won for her art
"Hold your Breath." (Canvas thanks MWSU professors Kay Siebler, Mike Cadden,
and Kathy Liao for judging the awards.) The program then continued with
readings by Canvas contributors and closed with a spoken-word tribute to the
issue by Kansas City poet Terrance Sanders.
