ALL nominees will receive the gold treatment, with a Studio Crash article on the MuncieArts Website, recognition at the Mayor’s Arts Awards ceremony on November 12th, and a whole lot of press and social media!
What are the nomination categories?
Arts Advocate, Arts Leader, Arts Educator, Corporate Arts, Artist in the Community, Next Generation Artist, Maker, and Lifetime Achievement.

Who can I nominate?
Nominees must be linked, in some way, to the Muncie community (either they work or live here, or both) and work to benefit Muncie. Re-nominations of past nominees are welcome, as long as they did not win an award in a previous year. Nominations do not need to be a secret - you can reach out to the nominee to obtain support material for your nomination. Send all nomination items (cover letter, images, support material, and the nomination form) to
[email protected].
A special thank you to our VIP Reception Sponsor, First Merchants Private Wealth Advisors, and Presenting Sponsor, Ball State University College of Fine Art!
