The biennial awards program is Nebraska’s premier event in recognizing individuals and organizations that shape our state’s artistic landscape. The impact of the arts, and these honorees, is felt in the classroom, the economy, and the community.
The awards ceremony and reception will be held at the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln on October 19th, 2023. The celebration starts with a reception at 4:30 pm followed by the awards presentation at 5:30 pm. The dress code is business casual and drinks and light hors d’oeuvres will be provided during the reception.
A recording of the ceremony will be posted on our YouTube Channel and Facebook page.
Awards for this year’s ceremony are commissioned by Amy Haney.
