The Cornwall and Area Hall of Fame for the Arts was developed by the Centre for the Arts Collective/le Collectif pour un Centre des Arts in 2015. The Hall of Fame is a key element in the campaign to establish an arts and culture centre for Cornwall and the region. The Hall of Fame will always be a work-in-progress. As it develops it will continue to recapture the brilliant history and achievements of the artistic and cultural movements of the past and showcase the great contemporary work our citizens are contributing locally, nationally and internationally.
The Hall of Fame showcases the significant achievements of patrons, supporters, builders and contributing artists in all the arts: the performing arts (music, theatre and dance), literary arts, visual arts and media arts.
One day the Hall of Fame will take its place of pride in the new home for the arts at 159 Pitt Street, a space that will nurture current and future generations of artists as it responds to the community’s appetite for culture and aesthetics. Currently, its existence is entirely digital, here at www.cornwallartshalloffame.com and available in a digital video.
Everyone is invited to submit nominations to the Hall of Fame. It is in its infancy. As it continues to grow, it will become a comprehensive archive, reflecting the diversity and power of the arts in our communities.
