State Sen. Teel Bivins, R-Amarillo, and State Reps. For that reason, the Arts Committee of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce is again honored to sponsor the annual Arts Day for Legislators Luncheon. Dr. Fred Williams, president of AC, will be master of ceremonies. In addition, various representatives of local arts groups will be showcased. It is important that entities that feature the performing and visual arts receive the backing of our area legislators.
Various programs help the committee promote the arts in Amarillo and surrounding areas.
The programs include the Golden Nail Awards, August Lights Arts Festival, the Chamber Entertainment Guide, the Community Calendar, Arts on Arts television segments, the Arts Pass and the Arts Day for Legislators Luncheon. The Golden Nail Awards are April 21. They help recognize businesses, individuals and foundations whose financial, in-kind and volunteer contributions to the fine arts in Amarillo and the Panhandle area are of such magnitude that the impact on the arts is significant. The deadline for final Golden Nail nominations is Monday. Those nominated for Golden Nail Awards, like our legislators, help the Amarillo area maintain a social atmosphere that is attractive for businesses.
