Business for the Arts of Broward Announces Title Sponsor for 2013 Broward County Arts Teacher of the Year

By:

Broward Cultural Division and Business for the Arts of Broward announce Florida Power & Light Company as this year's title sponsor for the 2013 Broward County Arts Teachers of the Year Event. Business for the Arts of Broward board members Alan Levy, CEO Great American Farms and Juliet Murphy Roulhac, Regional Manager, FP& L Co. have also been named as Honorary Chairs.

"We are reminded every day, and every year, why the arts are important in a child's education and in the future of any community; and this is not possible without teachers who are passionate and dedicated," says Levy. "Broward's business community is committed to streamlining the arts, business and education into a foundational force in Broward's overall development."

This year, Broward County's public, private and charter school principals and teachers are invited to nominate arts teachers for this Honor of Excellence. Also for the first time, there will be one Arts Teacher of the Year award in each of four categories - dance, music, theater and visual arts, and the four winners will not be announced until the night of the event on November 6, 2013, at Broward Center for the Performing Arts. There will be performance and exhibit showcases from the best students in Broward County, in a variety of program formats, on a night that celebrates Arts Excellence!

For 27 years the Broward County Arts Teacher of the Year Program, in partnership with The School Board of Broward County, FL, has showcased the artistic excellence of students and faculty in Broward County schools, by honoring outstanding arts teachers for their contribution and dedication to arts in the classroom. This year, the application deadline is May 31, 2013 and arts teachers may also submit applications.

This year's event will be held on Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 6 p.m. at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, in Fort Lauderdale. Please RSVP HERE. For further information, contact Grace Kewl-Durfey, Broward Cultural Division, at 954-357-7869.
