Governor’s Awards for the Arts- and York Flash Mob Promo

Thanks to our friend Jen Schreiber for the heads up on this great event! Her message follows-

There are still around 300  tickets remaining for the Governor’s Arts Awards that will be held Thursday, April 8th at the Strand Capitol. See schedule of the events here — http://culturalalliance-york.org/GAA/index.htm

I wanted to ensure all are aware of this event that will bring statewide attention to our City. Tickets are FREE to the event, you simply have to call the Strand Box Office at 846-1155 and RSVP. We should all be proud this event will be held Downtown. This year’s Distinguished Pennsylvanian Arts Award is being presented to York County’s own, sculptor Jeff Koons.

Jeff is now based in NYC and Europe, although he is reconstructing his family farmhouse in Red Lion and still frequents Central Market. Jeff is the highest grossing living contemporary artist in the world. You may remember a recent piece, Hanging Heart, that sold at Sotheby’s for $23.5 million.

Tickets to the awards ceremony are FREE as well as to the Valencia reception thereafter.

Here is the awesome Downtown York Flash Mob Promo for the event:
