�� The Leadership in the Arts Award was established in 2006 as an annual award “to honor and recognize individuals or organizations that have made a significant impact on the arts and culture of our region through innovative thinking and exemplary commitment to promoting, sustaining, and advancing our quality of life through the Arts.” Second District Supervisor Susan Rose was the first recipient of the award. Since then the award has gone to Santa Maria artist, arts educator and long-time arts advocate Nat Fast; to Joe and Margie Talaugon, long-time Guadalupe residents for their commitment, community involvement and support for art and cultural activities through the Guadalupe Cultural Arts & Education Center, Mark Whitehurst and Kerry Methner Publisher and Editor of CASA Magazine, and Bill Cirone and Tina Fanucci for their commitment and advocacy for arts education in schools, Zaveeni Khan-Marcus, received the award for her significant contributions to the community through her work as Director of the UCSB MultiCultrual Center and last year Rod Lathim received the award for his passionate commitment to use the arts to affect social change. The Arts Commission is a division of the Santa Barbara County Community Services Department. Established in 1977 The Arts Commission is a 15-member panel with three representatives appointed by each of the five County District Supervisors. The Commission serves as a regional arts agency for the County and linked to the California Arts Council through the State and Local Partnership Program. It also provides arts services to the City of Santa Barbara through a decades-old partnership between the City and County. For more information visit www.sbartscommission.org.
