The Richmond Arts Awards program recognizes the achievements in and contributions to the arts by Richmond residents, artists, educators, organizers and business leaders.
Nominations are being accepted in the following categories:
- Youth Arts
- Volunteerism
- Cultural Leadership
- Business and the Arts
- Artistic Innovation
- Arts Education
All artistic disciplines are eligible: visual, performing, literary and culinary arts, as well as craft, environmental arts and new media.
Once again, the Richmond Arts Coalition will award a $200 cash prize to the winner of the Youth Arts category, which recognizes a performing, literary or visual artist, 24 years of age or younger, who has demonstrated outstanding promise and commitment to the Richmond arts community.
The annual awards ceremony has been cancelled due to safety precautions with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic. Following last year’s model, the recipient of each category will be recognized through the City’s various online platforms and social media campaigns beginning in May 2021.
The Richmond Arts Awards are presented through a partnership between the City of Richmond and the Richmond Arts Coalition, and are supported by the Richmond News.
