Annual awards pay tribute to those in the arts

The 31st annual Arts and Business Council Awards Celebration is taking place this month, presented by the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.

The awards honor volunteers, innovative leaders, and those who form partnerships between business and the arts. There are 10 awards to be handed out during the evening and they include the Anne d'Haroncourt Award for Artistic Excellence, the Business and Arts Partnership Award, and the Creative Economy Award for Distinction in a For-profit Creative Field.

The evening will start off with a networking reception which will include a buffet dinner and cocktails. It will then be followed by the awards presentations and will finish off with a dessert reception.

Sponsorships are available from $500 up to $4,000. Advertisements are also available for purchase for the event program book.

This annual event usually attracts approximately 600 guests from the arts and business. In order to keep in touch with those they meet, many of those planning to attend will be contacting their favorite Philadelphia printing company to place a new business card printing order.

The Arts and Business Council Awards Celebration will be held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on May 24 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Tickets are $150, $30 for Young Friends, $125 for volunteers, and $100 for those in the nonprofit arts and culture sector. Call 215-545-1234 to learn more.
