2002 Director's Awards
"You
got what it takes to satisfy, you got what it takes to set my soul on fire………"
Last year, at the Joint Congress of the Arts, the Arts Council instituted
several awards to honor and recognize the achievements and contributions of
those who work in the nonprofit arts arena. Annual awards include the Council
Award (recognizing one individual or organization for exemplary service to
arts & culture), the Director's Awards, (recognizing five individuals for
extraordinary contribution to the arts) and the Legislator Awards (recognizing
elected officials for their dedicated support for arts & culture). Awards
for outstanding contributions within a given discipline are awarded every
five years. The Sankofa Award (for long time public service) is awarded
periodically.

Arrangements will be made to formally present the awards sometime in January or February, perhaps a luncheon in Sacramento or some other venue.
The Council will announce its Annual Award in January.
