All Area Arts Awards

Each May, the Saginaw’s arts community, business leaders, and civic champions come together for the highly anticipated All Area Arts Awards – a night dedicated to celebrating the transformative power of arts and culture in Saginaw and throughout the region. The All Area Arts Awards honors the individuals, organizations, and businesses that make an impact, fueling creativity and enriching our community.

Adding to this long standing event, the ceremony will feature the presentation of the Scott J. Seeburger Young Artist Award which will highlight and support the next generation of creatives, ages 17 – 30. This award recognizes outstanding emerging talent in Saginaw County across the visual, performing, literary, and digital arts, providing a $1,000 grant to help them further develop their skills and artistic journey.
