About the Phoenix Awards
There are 10 categories for five awards: Arts Advocate, Arts Administrator, Arts Education, Design Arts, Literary Arts, Musical Arts, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Volunteer in the Arts, and the Phoenix Award for Exceptional Artistic Achievement.
The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission members may select more than one winner in any one category and may choose not to present all five awards. A previous winner may be considered for an award in a different category from the first.
Each year an outstanding area artist is asked to create the Phoenix Awards in the medium of his or her choice. The artist is compensated from the Arts Commission’s Phoenix Award budget. Prior Phoenix Award art is on public display in the lobby of the Lawrence Arts Center.
The Phoenix Awards are presented at an annual fall ceremony. The ceremony and the reception that follows are open to the public.
Since the inception of the Phoenix Awards, more than 100 local artists, sculptors, photographers, dancers, musicians, vocalists, educators, writers and literary supporters, administrators, and volunteers have been recognized by their peers and fellow Lawrencians. Nomination instructions are annually available online and solicitations for nominations are typically made over the summer months.
