At the Arts Awards

June means Waterloo Region’s Arts Awards are here. This past Wednesday a number of local artists were recognized their incredible contribution to our region’s art scene. Once again the awards were held at The Centre in the Square and I was the official photographer to capture the evening. The guests were all treated to some pretty tasty food sampling (I admit that I purposefully skipped eating at home so my dinner could be the samples offered at the awards) as well as some superb music in the lobby before the show started.

Like always, the awards committee did a fantastic job having everything ready and keeping things on schedule. Everyone in attendance also got to hear some live performances from The Water Boys, The Suns, Chico Dusty, and Alysha Brilla. And just like last year, a number of BOX artists had some work on display before the show and during intermission that guests could bid on. I had two pieces available, with one selling (woo hoo!).
