The Kansas Arts Commission is accepting nominations through Nov. 1 for Governor’s Arts Awards, which recognize outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, and support or availability of the arts in Kansas.

Any individual currently residing in Kansas or any business, organization or institution involved in arts and cultural activities and located in Kansas at the time of nomination is eligible to be nominated. An organization should be nominated by someone in the community it serves, not by an official of the organization.

Nomination categories are for individual artist, arts educator, arts advocate, arts organization, and arts patron (individual or organization).

Please contact Karen Brady at karen@arts.state.ks.us or call (785) 368-6545 for more information on submissions.
