The Bowtie Awards is an opportunity to provide deserved recognition for those enlightened and supportive companies who understand that the collective positive impact of our arts community is critical to the development of our people and our city.

Co-chaired by Laurie Eskind, Vicki Horne and Ellen Leifeld, the Bowtie Awards recognize businesses for their support of the arts in Nashville.

Steve Turner hosts this inaugural Awards luncheon that embraces the depth and breadth of Nashville's creative community in this energizing and fun and event. 


Awards
Awards will be given in five categories:
1. Arts Education
2. Arts Partnerships
3. Entrepreneurial Support
4. Generosity
5. Work Environment
 
Three business finalists will be named in each of the five categories. The business winners will receive a beautiful, unique award designed by a Nashville artist. Each finalist will receive a gift to keep for themselves, plus a $250 cash award to be designated to the nominating arts organization or arts organizations of their choice. The winner in each category will receive an additional $750 for a total of $1,000 gift that will be designated in the same fashion. Thus, $7,500 will be contributed directly to the arts community.
