Ward 4 Alderwoman Nina Dawson and CCE founder Ev Mann will receive The Red Goat Award, a new Kingston tradition recognizing outstanding service to the arts. Arts District Co-Founder Anne Bailey called this year’s awards especially meaningful for the MAD team. “We’re committed to working toward equity and inclusion for those who live in Midtown neighborhoods surrounding the Arts District,” said Bailey. “Both Nina and Ev have demonstrated a commitment to serving Midtown youth and families. Their commitment inspires and guides MAD’s efforts.”
