LAS VEGAS DESIGN CENTER HOSTS GOVERNOR’S ARTS AWARDS, APRIL 1, 2010 - SAVE THE DATE
Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Governor’s Arts Awards in style! Thanks to the generosity of the Las Vegas Design Center, GAA honorees and guests will be treated to spectacular views of the Vegas Valley from the World Market’s Center’s Worldview on Sixteen ballroom on April 1, 2010. The City of Las Vegas’ Office of Cultural Affairs is hosting the OASIS 2010 conference on April 2 at the Historic Fifth Street School.
These two significant statewide programs, both causalities of NAC budget cuts, are occurring in 2010 thanks to an extraordinary effort by the NAC Board and support from a number of businesses and organizations, including Cirque du Soleil, Newmont Mining Corporation, Barrick Gold Corporation, NVEnergy and Metro Arts Council of Southern Nevada.
Save these dates and stay tuned for OASIS and GAA updates, including information about professional development funding to attend these statewide events.
