Huntingdon, Tenn.–Ovation TV, America’s premier arts network, and partner Charter Communications, Inc., today announced the recipients of the 2023-2024 Stand For The Arts Awards, which recognizes local arts, cultural and educational organizations and programs. Since the initiative started in 2017, Ovation TV and Charter have given out 70 awards totaling $700,000 towards arts education. This year, 10 organizations will receive support in Charter markets across the country.
Select arts organizations are awarded $10,000 Stand For The Arts contributions based on the following criteria: their support of creatives and artists via community-driven programming; as advocates for equity and access to the arts; and for providing accessible community spaces for creative expression. “From Maine to Maui, Ovation TV and Charter continue to support and champion community-driven arts organizations across the country,” stated Sol Doten, Senior Vice President, Head of Marketing and Communications for Ovation TV. “It remains the priority of our Stand For The Arts partnership – seven years strong – to honor these arts organizations as they encourage and uplift artists on a local level.”
“We commend this year’s Stand For The Arts Award recipients for their support of local creatives and advocacy for accessibility to the arts through preservation, education and opportunity,” said Adam Falk, Senior Vice President, State Government Affairs for Charter. “Charter’s partnership with Ovation TV will help strengthen and uplift these vital arts and cultural organizations and continues our commitment to invest in and support the communities we serve.”
