Ovation TV and Spectrum Award $100,000 to Local Arts Groups
Ten cultural organizations across the United States will receive $10,000 grants as part of the 2025-2026 Stand For The Arts Awards. The initiative, a partnership between Ovation TV and Spectrum, honors groups that prioritize community access, equity, and creative expression through local arts programming.
Since the program launched in 2017, the partnership has distributed $900,000 across 90 awards to foster arts education. This year’s recipients span diverse regions, ranging from the Winter Park Playhouse in Florida and the Auburn Public Theater in New York to the Louisville Orchestra in Kentucky and The Holland Project in Nevada. These selections recognize institutions that provide professional musical theater, youth residencies, and inclusive performance spaces.
Sol Doten, Executive Vice President of Marketing & Strategy at Ovation TV, noted that the honorees demonstrate a profound commitment to cultural preservation and artistic accessibility. Adam Falk, Senior Vice President of State Government Affairs at Spectrum, added that these investments serve to connect neighborhoods by supporting the leaders who expand creative reach in the communities where the company operates.
The full list of recipients includes the Loudon County Concert Band, Rochester Art Center, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art & Storytelling, Hawai'i Youth Symphony, and the Sheridan Arts Foundation.
