Arts Education Awards Presentation
Once again, RPAA is excited to honor three individuals who exemplify arts education in the greater Richmond community with the following awards:

The SUPPORT AWARD, sponsored by Genworth, will be given to a teaching artist who models high-quality arts integration in their residencies, in SUPPORT of classroom teachers.

The NURTURE AWARD, sponsored by ABC 8NEWS, will be given to a performing arts educator who NURTURES the artists of tomorrow through exemplary arts instruction in the K-12 classroom.

The THRIVE AWARD, sponsored by Kinsale, will be given to a leader in arts education who creates spaces in the community for the arts to THRIVE.
