We sent out the call for nominations, and you answered! We received 229 nominations for the 2008 Mayor's Arts Awards. The Seattle Arts Commission will review the nominations and recommend recipients to the mayor. Stay tuned for an announcement of the winners in mid-June.
Mayor Greg Nickels will present the awards at a ceremony, Friday, Aug. 29 at Seattle Center in partnership with Bumbershoot®: Seattle's Music & Arts Festival.
The Mayor's Arts Awards are presented by the Seattle Arts Commission, Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs and Bumbershoot®: Seattle's Music & Arts Festival, with primary media sponsorship from Encore Arts Programs.
