Millville, NJ. (March 10, 2017) ––The Levoy Theatre is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded Honorable Mention as “Favorite South Jersey Performing Arts Center” in the 2017 JerseyArts.com People’s Choice Awards. Presented by Discover Jersey Arts, a program of the ArtPride New Jersey Foundation and New Jersey State Council on the Arts, the annual Awards highlight the work of New Jersey’s vital and diverse arts community.
“We’re so grateful for this designation and to be among the top arts organizations in the state,” said Phil Van Embden, Levoy Board Chairperson at the Levoy Theatre. “It is a great honor to be nominated for these Awards, and to receive such overwhelming support from our peers and audiences.”
This year, nearly 18,000 arts lovers cast their ballots for their favorite local groups and downtowns. The Levoy Theatre was the only arts organization south of Trenton receiving this award this year. The theatre was amongst those honored this morning at the 2017 N.J. Conference on Tourism in Atlantic City. “For the ninth year in a row, the people of New Jersey have told us loud and clear that the arts matter,” said Nick Paleologos, Executive Director of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. “In every corner of the state, from the smallest town to the biggest city, we rely on the work of these exceptional artists and arts organizations to make our communities vibrant, unique places to live, work and visit.”
The Levoy Theatre was one of 98 arts organizations and 11 downtown districts nominated in 16 categories, including favorite performing arts center, dance company, art gallery, choral group and more. Nominees were determined by their peers in the Jersey Arts Marketers network, made up of hundreds of arts groups from around the state.
“The arts organizations highlighted in the JerseyArts.com People’s Choice Awards will not come as a surprise to many. The winners and nominees alike inspire hundreds every day,” said Adam Perle, President & CEO of ArtPride New Jersey. “These groups help our neighborhoods reach new heights and give us permission to fly to Neverland, dance on rooftops or simply take a longer, deeper look at the beauty that surrounds us. All of the nominees should be very proud of the important and impactful work they are doing.”
