About the Awards


The Missoula Cultural Council presents annual awards for Individual Cultural Achievement and Business Support for the Arts.

Cultural Achievement Award
The Cultural Achievement Awards were first awarded in 1999 to honor individuals whose outstanding work in the arts and humanities have made a significant contribution to the community’s quality of life.
Nominees should be those who have made significant contributions through their leadership and career achievements in the field of arts and humanities. Artists, arts administrators and educators may be eligible if their contributions have clearly demonstrated outstanding service to the community; their activities have exceeded their professional responsibilities; and the outstanding quality of their work has heightened cultural awareness in the community.

Business Support for the Arts Award
The Business Support for the Arts Awards, first awarded in 2004, honor local businesses that have made significant contributions to Missoula’s art and cultural organizations.
Nominees should be local businesses or firms that have provided exceptional, long-term support to Missoula arts and cultural organizations through strong financial and in-kind contributions. The business must offer support to a broad base of arts activities and must have experience serving on volunteer boards in arts organizations.
