Business Council for the Arts*

According to BCA CEO Katherine Wagner, “This is a year to truly celebrate the importance of arts and culture to our region, and to applaud those whose contributions are foundational in keeping this sector healthy.”

Since 1989 the presentation of the Obelisk Award has recognized people and organizations that have shown extraordinary support of North Texas arts and culture. It might be interesting to note that according to the 2017 Arts and Economic Prosperity Report 5 by Americans for the Arts with BCA, the arts and cultural groups of North Texas employ some 52,000 individuals, translating to “$1.5B in economic impact including salaries and taxes paid to both local and state governments.” That is why the pandemic’s impact on the various programs this past years has been debilitating for both individuals and the area’s economy.
