Patrick Dempsey shares a laugh with L/A Arts Executive Director Andrew Harris after receiving the inaugural Minerva Award during a ceremony at Gallery 5 in Lewiston on Saturday morning. Dempsey's efforts to improve the lives of those touched by cancer through the Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing in Lewiston made Dempsey the first recipient. The award, which depicts a stylized image of the Roman Goddess Minerva, will be given each year to an individual or group that has used the power of the arts to enrich and enhance the lives of those in the community. Behind Harris are award committee members Cheri Donahue, partially hidden, and Sandy Marquis, the board chairwoman of L/A Arts.
