If someone who has contributed significantly to the arts in Connecticut is your hero, there is an opportunity to extend that status to the entire state. The Connecticut Arts Hero Awards honor and celebrate Connecticut residents who are doing extraordinary things in the arts, for the arts, and through the arts in Connecticut, some publicly and some behind the scenes.
Nominations are now open for 2020, through February 3, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. The Connecticut Office of the Arts annual Arts Hero Awards will be presented at an open-to-all, free evening event on Wednesday, May 6, 2020 at Infinity Hall in Hartford.
The Connecticut Arts Hero Awards, which began just a few years ago, have “introduced us to remarkable individuals engaged in or supporting the arts,” officials said. The evening event honoring the 2020 heroes is designed to “honor and celebrate these extraordinary individuals and to reaffirm the significant role the arts play in Connecticut.”
