Arts Commission Seeks Proposals to Host the 2009 Indiana Governor’s Arts Awards
On behalf of Governor Mitch Daniels, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) is accepting proposals from Indiana cities interested in hosting the 2009 Governor’s Arts Awards.
The 2007 awards program was held in Bloomington and marked the first time the event was presented outside the city of Indianapolis. The concept of a traveling program proved widely popular even before the 2007 event was over.
“During the 2007 program we had representatives from other communities in attendance ask us how their communities could be considered to host future awards programs,” said Lewis C. Ricci, IAC executive director. “When we first proposed the concept of taking the awards program outside Indianapolis, Governor Daniels was not only supportive, but encouraged the idea of involving a variety of Indiana communities in the celebration of our artistic excellence. I think I speak on behalf of everyone involved with the awards when I say this is something the Commission very much wants to continue.”
The IAC is currently accepting letters of intent to submit proposals to host the 2009 Governor’s Arts Awards. Letters of intent should originate from the potential host venue/organization, or from an official office or designee of the city. The letter of intent will serve as a notification to the Indiana Arts Commission that a formal proposal and application will be submitted. Letters of Intent should be no more than two pages in length and must be received by the Indiana Arts Commission on or before May 30, 2008.
