IAC Seeks Community Proposals to Host 2011 Governor's Arts Awards
The Indiana Arts Commission recently announced that on behalf of Governor Mitch Daniels, the agency is now accepting proposals from Indiana cities and organizations interested in hosting the 2011 Governor's Arts Awards.
The 2009 awards program was held in Muncie and marked the second time the event had been presented outside the city of Indianapolis. The concept of a traveling program has been popular since first launched in 2007 when Bloomington was the host city.
“When we proposed the idea of taking the awards program on the road, so to speak, and share this event with other communities, Governor Daniels was enthusiastically supportive,” said IAC Executive Director Lewis C. Ricci. “This is not only an excellent opportunity for a community to be part of this great event, but also to place its own identity, and local arts impact in the spotlight.”
The IAC is currently accepting letters of intent to submit proposals to host the 2011 Governor’s Arts Awards. Letters of intent should originate from the potential host venue/organizations, or from an official office or designee of the city. Letters of intent should be sent to the Indiana Arts Commission, attention: Rex Van Zant, 100 N. Senate Ave., Room N505, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Letters of intent must be received by the Indiana Arts Commission on or before close of business September 15, 2010. Letters of intent should be no more than two pages in length.
