Dear Friends of the Arts,
The Department of Arkansas Heritage (DAH) is dedicated to promoting and preserving the cultural, historic, and natural resources in our fine state. Recognizing the value of our people, locations, and the experiences that our state offers is an important mission.
The Arkansas Arts Council, a division of DAH, supports the creative people and the creative enterprises contributing so much to our overall quality of life. The arts help us to create vibrant communities, enhance economic development statewide, and provide entertainment and a means of self-expression.
Join us in our efforts to recognize and celebrate the arts in our state by nominating candidates for the 2019 Governor’s Arts Awards. I invite you to nominate an artist, educator, arts patron, or community leader who has made outstanding contributions to the arts in Arkansas.
A distinguished panel from the Arkansas arts community will review the nominations. The recipients will be honored with an awards ceremony in the spring of 2019.
Susan and I are committed to the arts, and we appreciate your shared dedication and support of the cultural heritage of Arkansas and the Governor’s Arts Awards.
Sincerely,
Asa Hutchinson
