The Town of Bay Bulls has been selected to host the 39th Annual Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Awards.
The show will be held at the Bay Bulls Regional Lifestyle Centre on Friday, June 21.
"As the Mayor of Bay Bulls, I am honoured that our town has been chosen as the location to host this year's Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Awards,” said Mayor Keith O'Driscoll. “It is such a great opportunity to showcase the Bay Bulls Regional Lifestyle Centre and the Town of Bay Bulls as a whole. Bay Bulls and the Southern Shore Region are bursting with talented artists, and we think the hosting of this year's Arts Awards was a perfect choice. We are looking forward to working with Melanie Martin and her team at ArtsNL to make this year's event the best one yet.”
Each year, the provincial body hands out six distinct awards— Patron of the Arts Award, Emerging Artist Award, Arts in Education Award, Hall of Honour Award, Artist Achievement Award, and Artist of the Year Award.
Dozens of groups and individuals from across the province have been nominated.
"We're incredibly excited to collaborate with the municipality of Bay Bulls this year," said Martin, who is executive director of ArtsNL. "We're curating an incredible lineup and we're looking forward to sharing those details in the coming weeks. Supporting the artists of Newfoundland and Labrador is at the heart of ArtsNL's mission, and the Arts Awards serve to celebrate their contributions to the province's vibrant cultural landscape."
More details about the show, including ticket information, will be announced in the coming weeks.
