The Seattle Office of Arts & Culture opened nominations for the 2020 Mayor’s Arts Awards in February and received more than 80 submissions honoring exceptional artists, individuals and organizations that broaden our horizons and humanize our city and our world.
However, between the global pandemic and the heightened tension of racial injustices that have plagued our nation, our spirit for the traditional celebration has been defused. Although we are transitioning from the traditional Mayor’s Arts Awards, we acknowledge the many individual artists and organizations who were nominated. Please join us in celebrating everyone who was nominated for the 2020 Mayor’s Arts Awards.
