The 31^st Annual Business for the Arts Awards Gala will be a sold out event with 300 leaders from the arts and business community planning to converge at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) to celebrate outstanding business visionaries in support of the arts for the thirty-year strong annual black-tie affair.  

The Awards Gala evening will feature performances by Simone Osborne, the latest rising star soprano with the Canadian Opera Company’s Ensemble Studio program and a musical performance by Royal Conservatory of Music’s prodigy pianist Alex Seredenko who will be collaborating with electric violinist Dr. Draw for an unforgettable duet.  A special tribute will be made to this year’s Bovey Award winner, A. Charles Baillie, with a poetry reading by one of Soulpepper’s founding members, Nancy Palk.  The Awards Gala will be followed by The Arnold Party, the official after party of the Business for the Arts Awards, in the AGO’s Walker Court – for more information, read the full release by clicking the link at the top of the page.
