Arts Leaders and educators are our heroes! They inspire and engage our school children through music, dance, theater and fine arts. Outstanding arts leaders and educators from many school districts in our region were recognized and celebrated at our second annual gala.
Dr. L. Steven Winlock, Executive Director of the Sacramento County Office of Education, was honored for his unwavering support of arts education.
Randy Cohen, Vice President of Research at Americans for the Arts, joined us as part of his nationwide tour focusing on the importance of a thriving creative economy and the arts.
