The Hudson Valley Writers’ Center in Sleepy Hollow reports that it just found out it has won the 2008 Arts Award in Arts Organization category from the Westchester Arts Council.
The Arts Award is given each year to individuals and organizations that have made an extraordinary contribution to the arts in Westchester. A second winner in this category is the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville, so HVWC is certainly in good company.
The Writers’ Center was nominated by Billy Collins of North Salem (U.S. Poet Laureate 2001-2003 and New York State Poet Laureate 2004-2006), poet/writer Patricia Smith, and poet/editor David Tucker.
The award will be presented at WAC’s annual Arts Award luncheon on Wednesday, April 9th at the Rye Town Hilton in Rye Brook. For more information on the Arts Award luncheon, contact WAC at (914) 428-4220 or esiegel@westarts.com.
