Statement

Gov. Steve Beshear today honored nine Kentuckians with the prestigious Governor's Awards in the Arts.

"These awardees represent such a rich diversity of background and experience, but they have in common that they have risen above and beyond in their commitment to hone and refine their respective talents. In the case of the organizations we're also honoring, they have demonstrated a remarkable and fervent commitment to creating an art-friendly community where they live," said Gov. Beshear, who was presiding over the final Governor's Award ceremony of his second term. "It has been my privilege as governor to see so many Governor's Awardees pass through the Rotunda and to honor their contributions to our Commonwealth."
