Join us in celebrating the arts in Katarokwi/Kingston at the 8th annual Mayor’s Arts Awards!

The Mayor’s Arts Awards is an annual recognition program which celebrates artistic achievement as well as extraordinary support for and contributions to the arts. Recipients are identified in two categories: Creator Awards, and the Arts Champion Award. The Mayor’s Arts Awards affirms the value of the arts as a source of creativity, innovation and pride and nurtures the sustained development of the arts and culture sector to the benefit of all Kingstonians.

“Our vibrant arts community helps make Kingston a wonderful place to live, and the Mayor’s Arts Awards is a way to celebrate all those who contribute to the cultural landscape of our city,” said Danika Lochhead, Director, Arts & Culture Services at the City of Kingston. “The awards are an opportunity to support, encourage and recognize our local artists while building on the City’s commitment to investing in the arts.”

The 2024 awards program looked a little different than in previous years. An open call for nominations was introduced and facilitated by the City, and updates were made to the award categories. A total of 58 nominations were received, and a Selection Committee was formed to select the recipients. The City also expanded its partnership with the Kingston Arts Council, who provided administrative support and oversaw the review and selection process.

A public reception will be held on Monday, 27 January in Memorial Hall, where the 2024 Mayor’s Arts Awards recipients will be announced and celebrated. The event will include an awards presentation followed by a reception. All are invited to attend and join us in celebrating the contributions of the 2024 recipients to our thriving arts sector!
