Arts Council Honors Chautauqua Institution with Lifetime Achievement Award

By Joyce Kryszak

Buffalo, NY – Thursday, the Buffalo and Erie County Arts Council will honor individuals and organizations that have contributed to the artistic fabric of life in our community.

Among those who will receive awards at the annual luncheon are famed photographer Milton Rogovin and the Buffalo City Youth Ballet. And for the first time the Arts Council is reaching into the Southern tier to honor a well-known organization that has put the arts at the core of its mission for more than a century. The Chautuaqua Institution will share the Lifetime Achievement Award.

WBFO's Joyce Kryszak talked with the President of the Institution, Tom Becker. Click the "listen" icon above to hear the interview now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.
