The Arts of Citizenship Program has been selected by the Michigan
Association of Community Arts Agencies (MACAA) as a recipient of
a 2004 Great Lakes Community Arts Award. The formal presentation
of Arts of Citizenship's award was April 26 at the Work Gallery
on State Street. The award, an original work by Nancy Lautenbach,
coordinator of marketing and programs at Arts at Michigan (left), "is especially
meaningful because it comes from the very arts organizations with
whom we collaborate on arts and education projects," said
David Scobey, director of Arts of Citizenship (center). The awards
are presented to arts organizations that are outstanding in management
and programming, in community and economic development, and in
leadership. All winners must demonstrate a commitment to integrating
arts and culture into community life. At right is Juliet Feibel
of Imagining America, a national movement linking universities
with the communities they serve through arts and humanities projects.
