Spectrum partners with Ovation TV to award Duluth Art Institute

Since the initiative started in 2017, Spectrum and Ovation Spectrum have given out 60 awards totaling $600,000 towards arts education.

Spectrum and Ovation TV will present the Duluth Art Institute a $10,000 Stand for the Arts Award ahead of the Institute’s Annual Member Show on Wednesday at SLC Depot Performing Arts Stage and Great Hall in Downtown Duluth.

The 2022-2023 Stand For The Arts Awards recognizes local arts, cultural and educational organizations and programs. Ten organizations are receiving support in Spectrum markets across the country based on the following criteria: support of creatives and artists via community-driven programming; as advocates for equity and access to the arts; and for providing accessible spaces for creative expression.

Since the initiative started in 2017, Spectrum and Ovation Spectrum have given out 60 awards totaling $600,000 towards arts education. More information about Stand For The Arts and the Stand For The Arts Awards is available at www.standforthearts.com.
