The People Behind the Arts
 ARTSblog by Deb Weber - This past Monday [June 7th] we were
fortunate to celebrate the creativity in our community at the Mayor's
Arts Awards. The evening was spectacular with the Lied stage gorgeously
decorated by Jack Saltzman. He has provided decorations (well more
than that, an ambiance) for hundreds of events held by arts and other
nonprofits because he believes in their mission and wants to help them
be successful. Creative and resourceful, Jack embodies the model
that we work by with a steadfast dedication to our mission first and
foremost, followed by the engagement of community. We need a lot of
people like Jack Saltzman. And indeed, there were many other award
winners and guests at the Mayor's Arts Awards who either support or
create works of inspiring art because they know the arts transform
individual lives and build community. More...Be sure to check out our photos and videos from the event too! |

in there was possible. More...See the list of winners here, and don't forget the artist reception on July 7, 7 pm at Turbine Flats, 2124 "Y" Street. |
