About This Event

The Augusta Annual Arts Awards is a signature celebration honoring the artists, creatives, leaders, and advocates who shape the cultural heartbeat of our community. This evening brings together patrons of the arts, business leaders, and creatives across disciplines to recognize excellence, innovation, and lasting impact in Augusta’s vibrant arts ecosystem. More than an awards ceremony, the event is a reflection of the power of the arts to inspire, connect, and transform. From emerging voices to legacy contributors, the Augusta Annual Arts Awards shines a light on those who are not only creating meaningful work, but also building pathways for others to thrive.

At a time when the arts are navigating shifts in funding and support, this celebration carries even greater significance. It is a moment to stand firmly behind the creative community, to acknowledge its value, and to reinforce the role the arts play in the economic, cultural, and social vitality of Augusta.

The 2026 Augusta Annual Arts Awards will be held on June 19, 2026, at St. Paul’s River Room. Guests will enjoy an evening of elegance featuring dinner by A Family Affair Catering and live entertainment by local violinist JaVonne Jones, creating an atmosphere that reflects the richness and creativity of our arts community. Set within this inspiring environment, the evening will include dynamic presentations, artistic moments, and a shared sense of pride in the stories that define our city. It is a night to honor achievement, celebrate creativity, and reaffirm our collective commitment to sustaining and advancing the arts in Augusta.
