Mike is one of 10 recipients to be honoured with a RISING STAR AWARD from Uniquely Manitoba which celebrates its 10th year of operation. The RISING STAR AWARDS recognize Manitoba artists for their outstanding artistic achievements, community spirit and unique creative performances. The 10 RISING STAR AWARDS are given out to honour one artist in each of the first 10 years of Uniquely Manitoba’s existence. Moving forward, one RISING STAR AWARD will be presented yearly to a talented Manitoba artist.
The awards will be presented at a special event on Monday, May 5th - 12 Noon - at the Manitoba Hydro Building, 360 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB. The General Public is invited to attend. The Public is also invited to meet some of these artists and see their artworks during a Trade Show at the same location Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (May 5-7, 2014) from 7 AM to 4:30 PM.
