ACE Annual Awards Gala
Annually in December
Artists, patrons and friends gather for an evening celebrating the achievements of the year's most prominent members. The ACE Awards dinner is held each year at the beautiful Bank Street Annex at 316 Northampton Street, a historic Easton building that has become a fabulous banquet hall.
Two main Awards are presented:
The Artist of the Year, presented to the artist that has best represented the Arts Community
The Patron of the Year, given to the arts benefactor that has done the most to further the Arts.
In addition, we are proud to present the ACE annual Visual Arts Scholarships to promising young artists of the area.
We also present special awards to individuals who have given themselves to promote the arts and build the spirit of community that ACE embodies.
