The ACE (Artists Celebrating Excellence) Awards

Purpose

This Annual Awards Program brings together the Theatre, Film and Performing Arts Community and enhances the visibility of Theatre, Dance and Production companies and their Creative Works.

Mission

The ACE (Artists Celebrating Excellence) Awards was created to bring recognition to the great works being done in Theatre, Film and Performing Arts, to honor their artistic heritage and to provide a platform and a meeting ground for this extensive community.
