Arts & Business Alliance Partnership Award for 2010

Lane's Division of the Arts and the Eugene Airport/Gallery at the Airport Partnership are one of the finalists for the first Annual Arts and Business Partnership Award for 2010. The Arts & Business Alliance of Eugene gives the Award which recognizes those in the local arts and business sectors that are successfully collaborating to contribute to the quality of life in Eugene.

The 2010 Finalists are the Eugene Airport and the Gallery at the Airport Partnership, Kendall Subaru and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, and Isler CPA and the John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts. All three finalists will be honored at the Alliance's BRAVA Breakfast (Business Recognizing Arts Vision and Achievement) on June 4, 2010 at the Hult Center.

The Eugene Airport/Gallery at the Airport Partnership: "When economic uncertainty and budget constraints threatened the survival of the Gallery at the Airport, an exhibit space on the second floor landing of the Eugene Airport, community members Randy Stender and Dottie Chase worked quickly to put together a consortium of local non-profit arts organizations to manage the gallery. Four local arts organizations, Lane Community College Division of the Arts, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, the Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts (DIVA), and the Emerald Art Center, came together to form the Gallery at the Airport Partnership ensuring that the airport would have a permanent space for the exhibition of visual art and artifacts."

The LCC Faculty Art Exhibition is on display at the Airport Gallery during April, May and June.

All three finalists will be honored at the Alliance's BRAVA Breakfast (Business Recognizing Arts Vision and Achievement) on June 4, 2010 at the Hult Center.
