The Flagstaff Arts Council is happy to announce that the 13th Annual Viola Awards will take place on Friday, June 18, 2021. This new date provides the greatest opportunity to host an awards event in-person, likely outdoors. The Viola Awards, historically hosted in March, are a celebration of our creative community. After such a difficult year, it is important to celebrate the resiliency of our community in person, if it is safe to do so. Please mark your calendars!
There are no Viola Awards without nominations from the community!
A few recent Viola Award winners joined us to spread the message that nominations are open!
Our celebration depends on nominations from the community. “Excellence” may take on a new definition this year as we collectively learned live streaming, social distancing, and taking to social media to share our stories and experiences. Excellence isn’t just about the final product, but the learning and perseverance that is demonstrated.
The Viola Awards are made possible through the generosity of our Founding Sponsor, the Babbitt Brothers Foundation, and our Title Sponsor, Northern Arizona University, as well as other community members and sponsors. Sponsoring the Viola Awards is a great way to show your support for Flagstaff’s unique creative community.
