The
annual Arts Council Awards were established in 1969 by the Wichita/Sedgwick
County Arts and Humanities Council in order to recognize and honor those
businesses, foundations and individuals who have displayed consistent and
exemplary support of the arts and humanities in our community.
This
year, 12 outstanding Wichita area individuals, cultural organizations and
businesses will be recognized for their roles in furthering the growth and
development of arts in the Wichita area during the Art Awards presentation—
three more awards than in previous years. Also new for 2019, the Arts
Council is pleased to award a $500 scholarship to the Outstanding Achievement
in Art – Youth Award recipient.
