The Rock Springs Mayor’s Office is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Mayor’s Arts Awards. The deadline to submit nominations is Feb. 28.
First launched in 2020, the Mayor’s Arts Awards celebrate contributions to the arts and recognize individuals, organizations, businesses, and community members who have impacted the local arts scene. Nominees can be current or former residents of Rock Springs, and their achievements should reflect a lasting influence on the city’s vibrant arts community.
“I’m proud to honor those who enrich our community through the arts. This program is a testament to the incredible talent and creativity that often goes unnoticed in Rock Springs,” Mayor Max Mickelson said.
