The 2006 Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts reception will be held on Tuesday, February 27, 2007, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Performing Arts Complex (14th & Curtis). Mayor Hickenlooper will present the awards to the honorees at the event. Mistress of Ceremonies will be Tamara Banks, journalist and broadcast personality.
