Pike Arts Recognized At Capital Ceremony
Arts leaders from across the Commonwealth were in Frankfort on February 13 to celebrate Arts Day and meet with their legislators. During this time, Senator Ray Jones and Representative W. Keith Hall presented a check to Stephanie Richards representing Artists Collaborative Theatre for their FY2007 General Operating Support Grant. Artists Collaborative Theatre was awarded $1,699 by the Kentucky Arts Council, a state agency in the Commerce Cabinet. Richards stayed overnight in Frankfort to be in attendance this morning as Governor Ernie Fletcher recognized the Pike Fine Arts program during the annual Governors Awards for the arts. Richards spoke with EKB news about the award during a recent appearance on our Issues for the New Millennium program.
“As a Kentuckian and as an artist I can say that this is the highest honor we could possibly imagine receiving” Richards said.
Pike Fine Arts received the Government Award recognizing the program as an exemplary use of Government funding.
