Community Awards

In concert with Dîner en Noir's mission to highlight & utilize the talents of local artist, and the services of local small businesses, to support and promote our Host City's local arts and small business communities while uniting friends and strangers alike from diverse backgrounds for a night of elegance, great food, arts, music, dancing, and communion at our unique dining events, Dîner en Noir have launched the below community awards.  These community awards are awarded to one arts organization/program & one business development organization/program in each Dîner en Noir Host City.

Community Arts Programing Award

The Community Arts Programming (CAP) Award is awarded to local community & nonprofit organizations offering arts programming that build stronger communities, stimulate local advocacy for the arts & form strategic community alliances that propel arts forward.  While the financial donation aspect of the award can be used as the organization sees fit, It is the hope of Dîner en Noir that the funds are used to support projects that integrate arts, culture, and design activities into efforts that strengthen communities by advancing local economic, physical, and/or social outcomes.  The CAP Award hopes to ultimately assist with funding that lays the groundwork for systemic changes that sustain the integration of arts, culture, and design into strategies the strengthening communities.
