• Arts in Education
• Emerging Artist

“It’s no secret that St. Catharines boasts an arts community that many larger communities would be envious of, these artists, and the cultural growth they drive, enhance the quality of life for all residents by beautifying our city, providing insight into our lives and providing endless entertainment,” said Acting Supervisor of Cultural Services Kathleen Powell, adding, “the annual arts awards are just one of many ways we celebrate excellence in arts and culture and celebrate cultural industries for their contribution in enhancing the lives of our residents.”
Since their start in 2005, the Arts Awards have celebrated St. Catharines' artists and cultural industries, honoured cultural leaders and their achievements, and encouraged support for the arts sector. Arts Award recipients reflect St. Catharines' breadth of talent and commitment to the arts.
This year’s awards will be held in the fall of 2021. The exact format of the annual celebration of arts is still being considered, keeping in mind the limitations COVID-19 restrictions may play in their delivery.
Nominations close at 4 p.m. on April 1, 2021.
