Muse Awards
Nominations Now Being Accepted
The 2012 gala will take people where they’ve never gone
before!
The Palm Beach County Cultural Council and co-chairs Jean
Sharf and Beth Neuhoff present the 2012 Muse Awards gala at
the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Cohen Pavilion

The Muse Awards honor outstanding individuals and
organizations
for their contributions to arts and culture throughout Palm Beach County.
This is the only awards program of its kind in South
Florida. The annual event includes dynamic award
presentations, exciting performances and there’s a special
twist for 2012: Guests will be taken “Behind the Scenes” and
get an exclusive look at the great lengths some of our
cultural organizations travel in staging their
world-class programming.
Muse Award nominations are now being accepted. The Muse
Awards is the community's opportunity to recognize
outstanding organizations, programs, board members, staff,
sponsors, volunteers, advocates, donors, educators, unsung
heroes and others who help make Palm Beach County Florida’s
