Do you have an artist in your life that you think could use some recognition? KLWN’S Jill Nado reports on ways to do just that.

The Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission wants to hear from you…if you know an artist in the visual, musical literary, theatrical or media arts. They’re taking nominations for the 16th annual Phoenix awards. It’s a way to recognize outstanding artistic achievements in the Lawrence community. Over 100 outstanding artists have been awarded this prestigious recognition. The awards will be formally presented, at a reception to honor the recipients, on Sunday, November 6, 2011, at 2 p.m., at the Lawrence Arts Center.
