Nominations Due July 30th B'ham/Bloomfield Cultural Arts Award
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.
