The Distinguished Artist Awards
The Distinguished Artist Award was established in 2018 through partnership with Mayor Steve Nobel and the Kingston Arts Commission. The Distinguished Artist Award is a biennial award, which seeks to reward the achievements of local artists and creative thinkers. Nominees for the Distinguished Artist Award must have been a resident of Kingston for a minimum of two years. Nominees will have demonstrated a commitment to the local creative community. Awardees are selected by a panel of their peers, and are honored in a ceremony held at City Hall. The 2018 Distinguished Artist Award was presented to local artists Peter Wetzler and Julie Hedrick. The 2020 Distinguished Artist Award was presented to local musician Lara Hope.
The Arts & Culture Master Plan
In 2020, the City of Kingston embarked on the Arts & Culture Master Plan, the first city-wide cultural assessment for our community. Through the RFP process, Lord Cultural Resources was selected from numerous applicants to assist in the development of the Arts & Culture Master Plan. Along with the Project Advisory Committee, the Kingston Arts Commission serves as advisors to the project, which is managed by the Department of Art & Cultural Affairs.
