Americans for the Arts has announced today its annual National Arts Awards honorees and Lady Gaga is amoung them. The awards recognize artists and arts leaders who exhibit exemplary national leadership and whose work demonstrates extraordinary achievement. They're individuals who share a common belief in the power of the arts and arts education to enrich individual lives and communities alike.
Lady Gaga will receive the 'Young Artist Award' amoung other recipients including Sophia Loren, Herbie Hancock, Alice Walton, Joan and Irwin Jacobs and Maria Bell. The 2015 National Arts Awards will be presented on October 19th at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City as part of National Arts and Humanities Month.
The recipients of the National Arts Awards represent a deep commitment to the arts, and we are thrilled to be honoring such a tremendous group of artistic visionaries and leaders, Sophia Loren, Lady Gaga, Joan and Irwin Jacobs, Alice Walton, Herbie Hancock, and Maria Bell have all contributed enormously to America’s artistic and cultural legacy. Their persistence and extraordinary achievements have already served as an inspiration, and their work will continue to change the future of the arts in America for the better. -Americans for the Arts President & CEO Robert L.
