RADIO INTERVIEW SHOW ACE AWARDEES ON THE ROLE OF ARTS & CULTURE IN BUILDING COMMUNITY MONDAY JUNE 12, NOON WPKN 89.5FM |
| | As we celebrate our ACE Awardees (see details here), we are interviewing them on our show this month about the role that community plays in their work. At our June 21 awards breakfast we will focus on how the arts and culture is the glue for our communities, highlighting the significant role that artists and arts and cultural institutions play in connecting communities across government, businesses, nonprofit agencies, educational institutions and municipalities. This connection activates communities, offers common ground, and creates a sense of place that leads to economically and socially thriving communities. Our guests are:
• Cris Dam, Artist Award
• Vic Mulaire, The NEST Arts Factory, Citizen Award
• David Genovese, Baywater Properties, Corporate Award
• Jenny Nelson, Westport Country Playhouse, Educator Award
• Michael Jehle, Fairfield Museum & History Centre, Nonprofit Award
Tune in Monday June 12 at noon on 89.5FM, wpkn.org, to learn about how the arts and culture connects and integrates community. |
