The Mayor's Arts Awards ceremony is an annual opportunity for the Mayor to recognize individual artists and businesses, benefactors, arts organizations, arts community leadership, arts education or support, civic improvement and research, notable achievements and events, and those that have contributed to the arts in our community.
The Mayor's Arts Awards were established to recognize outstanding organizations, businesses and individuals who demonstrate excellence in their artistic discipline, service to the arts, or contribution to arts education in the community. Nominations are reviewed by the Bellingham Arts Commission.
Nominees are limited to individuals and organizations that reside within the City limits of Bellingham. Only one nomination may be made per form. The number of nominations received for each nominee has no bearing on the selection process. It is highly advisable to collaborate with the nominee to ensure a competitive nomination packet. Previous Mayor's Arts Award recipients are not eligible.
Nominations for this year will be accepted:
January 1, 2009 thru December 31, 2009
