Weisberg Award for Excellence in Painting Award.” This has been endowed and continues to be awarded at each show to encourage both new and experienced artists. - Glenview, Kentucky Post Office Commemorative Postal Stamp
In 1993, Weisberg was commissioned to execute a drawing of the Glenview, Kentucky Post Office building to commemorate its 100-year anniversary. As a longtime Glenview resident, Weisberg gifted the drawing to the City of Glenview, and it proudly hangs above the fireplace mantle in the Glenview Post Office. The Mayor of the City of Glenview, John St. Lawrence, later surprised Weisberg by informing him that they had decided to use his drawing, with his signature, as an official postal stamp, which they stamped over each piece of mail sent from the Glenview Post Office for a 30-day commemorative period. - Barney Bright Retrospective, Louisville Visual Art Association,
Weisberg was an integral part of a huge retrospective of Barney Bright’s work. A fabulous catalogue was developed and pieces of Bright’s works were brought to Louisville for display. It was one of the most outstanding exhibits at LVAA. - Paul Fields’ Retrospective, Louisville Visual Art Association
Weisberg was chairman of this retrospective for Louisville sculptor and friend, Paul Fields. Weisberg was an integral part of the entire exhibit at LVAA. He wrote the introduction to the extensive catalogue, and it was an outstanding and memorable exhibition.
