ARTIST LAUREATE AWARD INFO

What do you do now? Has your art evolved or changed?

It meant that Dance and the artists creating and preserving the Art Form were vital to our community and to the quality of life that our city and region believes important.

Briefly, how would you describe the state of the arts locally, as well as national and beyond?

Embrace the world around you, be generous to others and persevere through your art!
