Prince Albert’s bustling and vibrant arts scene celebrated the contributions of four artists at their 2016 Arts Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. 

It was a full stage at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre on Saturday, Oct. 1 for the gala. 

Music legends the Cotton Pickers were celebrated for their old-time polka music, which they’ve taken across the country since 1959.

The Prince Albert Grand Council’s Fine Arts Festival was awarded for it’s contribution to youth arts. During the week long festival, students participated in the visual arts, literature and drama to enhance their talents through hands on instruction.

Arts supporters Diane and Roger Mann received their honours as builders of P.A.’s art scene for decades, including the Mann Art Gallery.
