Some things we're thinking about:
- Where should it take place?
- Should we have the same award categories?
- Is Thursday evening the best day for the event? Maybe Friday is better, or Monday?
- How can we engage some new committee members to help with the event?
- What entertainment should we have?
Did you attend the event in May 2007? Even if you didn't, do you have thoughts on this celebration of Pittsburgh arts? Please share! Would you like to help? Let us know! Thanks!

It was so long ago! Can you remind me just what were those award categories and how were they (the categories--not the awardees) chosen? I think I did like the awards best. They made good connections between individuals and organizations "inside" and "outside" the arts community. That's a lot of where our (arts) value comes--in those connections.
Great question! In 2007, the categories were:
• Two Awards for Creative Collaborations: Excellence in Audience Development and Advances in Capacity Building
• Arts Educator Award
• Volunteer of the Year
• Chairman’s Award
• Mayor’s Award for Public Art
• People’s Choice Award
The Creative Collaborations and Educator awards were chosen by a panel, similar to how the Arts Council awards grants. The last three awards were chosen by the Mayor, the Arts Council Chair and a WYEP public poll respectively.
