This year's Tribute of the Muses award ceremony becomes a virtual event with a drive-through offering "Gala-at-Home" kits - dinner, plus some Muses memorabilia - 6pm - 7 pm, Friday night, October 9th in the parking lot behind the Yuma Art Center, 254 S Main Street (enter from the Madison Avenue side). 

The ceremony itself will then follow in an online webcast for at home viewing beginning at 8 pm that evening.   The ceremony will be broadcast online for home viewing but they are inviting everyone to get dressed up for the Drive Through Red Carpet.  The parking lot will be decked out , and when you drive up to the back of the Art Center, by our beloved MOMO mural, hop out and take a picture, pick up your Gala-At-Home kit and then head home for a watch party. 

Tribute of the Muses is typically the biggest night of the year for the Yuma Art Center.  The award honors an outstanding member of Yuma's art community who has shown exemplary devotion and excellence in the arts.  Winners range among artists, performers, educators, advocates and patrons.  The Helios award goes to the top newcomer in the arts community.
