Five individuals and one organization have been selected to receive the 24th Annual Raleigh Medal of Arts, the City of Raleigh Arts Commission has announced. The recipients are Lucy Daniels, Dr. Charles (Chuck) Davis, Lenard D. Moore, Susan Newberry, Jeffery H. Richardson, and Capital Bank.
The Raleigh Medal of Arts is awarded for lifetime extraordinary achievement in the practice of, or in support of, local arts. Originally based on the National Medal of Arts, the program was inaugurated in 1984 by the Arts Commission so that excellence in the arts could be given special recognition. Over the past 24 years, 122 medals have been awarded. The recipients have ranged from businesses like Progress Energy, arts organizations such as North Carolina Symphony, to artists such as sculptor Thomas Sayre and choreographer Robert Weiss.
Mark your calendars! The 24th Medal of Arts ceremony will take place on Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. in Fletcher Opera Theater at the Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts. The ceremony will feature special guests (to be announced shortly) and performances, followed by a festive reception. The event will be free and open to the public.
For more information about the selected medal recipients, please visit www.raleighnc/gov or contact the Arts Commission office at (919) 890-3610;

Bravo, Nancy
Congratulations to the Network’s good friend Nancy Olson, owner of Raleigh’s Quail Ridge Books & Music, who will receive a 2010 Raleigh Medal of the Arts in a ceremony on October 6. Nancy has done as much for North Carolina’s writers, and North Carolina’s literary culture, as anyone, and this honor is well-deserved.
