Community Update
Birmingham/Bloomfield. The public
is invited to nominate anyone who has been influential in furthering the
arts
in the communities of Birmingham, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms,
Bloomfield
Hills, Bloomfield Township and Franklin. This year represents the
nineteenth year that the Cultural Arts Award has been granted.
Last
year’s honoree was local photographer Laurie Tennent, honored for her
philanthropic and cultural outreach in the community and cited as a
‘photographer with a benevolent lens.’ Past award winners have included musicians,
philanthropists, writers, sculptors, teachers, photographers, and volunteers.
A
jury of more than a dozen arts enthusiasts from the community will select the
winner on the basis of the nominations. Link Wachler, the jewelry designer of
Life Links, will again create the award which will be presented to the honoree at
a reception at the BBAC on October 10 at the BBAC. The honorees’ names will
also be inscribed on a perpetual Cultural Arts Award plaque at Birmingham City
Hall.
