❤️✨ MEET THE STEPHEN PECK AWARD NOMINEES! ✨❤️
Some people do more than show up for a performance. They show up for the artists. They encourage, celebrate, lend a helping hand, and remind people that what they do matters.
The Stephen Peck Award honors those people—the ones who support artists through generosity, friendship, encouragement, and a genuine belief in their work.
The award is named in honor of Stephen Peck, who supported Frederic & Ronza during their early years of performing together from 2013–2019. He came to their shows, encouraged them, and often sent beautiful messages afterward about how their performances touched him. His kindness left a lasting impression and inspired this award.
This year, Frederic & Ronza CREATES is proud to recognize these nominees! ❤️
🌟 Bryan Ball
Bryan consistently shows up for people, offering encouragement, celebrating accomplishments, and lifting others up through social media and countless other acts of support. His willingness to recognize and celebrate others makes a difference in the lives of artists and throughout the community.
🌟 Anita Callaway
Anita shows her support by showing up! Whether volunteering, offering great suggestions, or asking, “What can I do to help?” she finds ways to make things happen. Her generosity, initiative, and willingness to lend a hand help artists and creative projects thrive.
🌟 Joe and Tanya Hand
Joe and Tanya have been incredible supporters of Frederic & Ronza CREATES. They continually show up with encouragement, care, and a genuine belief in the organization's work. Their support means more than they may realize, and their commitment to helping the organization and its artists succeed embodies the spirit of this award.
🌟 Tony Seiler and Heather Wornstaff
Tony and Heather are being recognized for their support of the arts and the people who bring creative work to life. Their encouragement, willingness to stand behind artists, and contributions to the creative community reflect how important it is to have people who believe in artists and their potential.
❤️ Join us in celebrating these incredible nominees!
They will be honored during LIGHT IT UP on Thursday, November 5, at Fishers Art Center.
Because behind so many artists who find the courage to step forward, share their stories, and pursue their dreams are people who believe in them.
The Stephen Peck Award celebrates those who remind artists that they are seen, valued, and supported.
✨ Congratulations to all of our nominees!
🎟️ Join us for LIGHT IT UP and help celebrate the artists and the people who make their journeys possible.
