The Mayor’s Arts Awards event isn’t your typical rubber chicken gala. The event is interactive and exciting, with a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility, live performances in nearly every room, one-of-a-kind raffle prizes, and the Mayor himself on the Third Street Theater stage, presenting awards to this year’s deserving honorees. This year’s event will add the Lou & Evelyn Grubb Visionary Award to the list of commendations. The Visionary Award will be given to a community member who has demonstrated leadership by finding creative solutions for the Arts in the City of Phoenix.
