2010 Diamond Awards
Each year the Peninsula Arts Council presents the Diamond Awards to recognize individuals and organizations for their artistic achievements and contributions to the arts (visual arts, music, dance, theater, film/video, literary) in San Mateo County.
The Peninsula Arts Council’s mission is to advance the arts in San Mateo County. We focus on key areas that have long-term countywide benefits: public art, arts education and developing our county into a destination for the arts, parks and culture.
On January 27, 2011, recipients, their families and friends, and the public are invited to a celebratory evening that includes a reception, silent auction, and presentation of the Diamond Awards.
Nominations for this year are now open. To make a nomination, a donation, or to volunteer go to www.peninsulaartscouncil.org
