New England Public Radio Seeks Nominations for the 2015 Arts & Humanities Awards
New England Public Radio is accepting nominations for the 2015 New England Public Radio Arts & Humanities Award. Now in its eighth year, the award recognizes those who have made a positive impact on the arts and humanities and brings awareness to the critical role played by musicians, artists, dancers, writers, teachers and cultural institutions in western New England.
Awards are divided into three nomination categories: Outstanding Organization, Outstanding Individual and Emerging Talent. Recipients of the 2014 Award included: The Performance Project/First Generation, author Jane Yolen and Easthampton City Arts+.
The community is invited to submit nominations for the New England Public Radio Arts & Humanities Award using the forms available at digital.nepr.net. All nominations must be received by January 12, 2015.
“The Arts & Humanities Award started in 2008 and each year we’ve spread the word to a bigger audience about the awards, ” said General Manager Martin Miller, “but we have only just begun to recognize the talent and influence of the arts and humanities community in western New England.”
Members of the New England Public Radio Foundation, Inc. will review all nominations and select recipients in January. Recipients will be celebrated at the Arts & Humanities Awards Gala in May of 2015 at the Log Cabin in Holyoke, MA. Tickets to the gala will go on sale in February.
