Nominations sought for Cultural Arts Awards

The Cultural Council of Birmingham/Bloomfield is now accepting nominations for the 2023 Birmingham Bloomfield Cultural Arts Awards.

The Cultural Arts Awards, now in its 28th year, recognizes an individual who has strongly impacted the arts in the area of Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms and Franklin, or someone who has had an impact beyond the local communities at a state or national level.

The annual awards are sponsored by the cultural Council of Birmingham/Bloomfield which is a non-profit 501c-3 that promotes and supports the cultural life in the local communities, honors citizens and businesses that have had an impact on the arts, raises funds to support and insure the sculpture program “Birmingham Art in Public Spaces,” and works to illuminate the many cultural activities and resources available across the Birmingham-Bloomfield area. Co-sponsoring the awards are the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center, The Community House and Downtown Newsmagazine.

To make a nomination, criteria and a downloadable form are available at the Cultural Council's website – culturalcouncilbirminghambloomfield.org. The nomination form will also be printed in the July issue of Downtown Newsmagazine.

Nominations are due by Monday, July 24. A jury of arts enthusiasts from the community will select the 2023 honoree(s) in August. The public is invited to an awards ceremony at the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center on Friday, October 13, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.
