The Annual Mayor's Luncheon for the Arts was held yesterday. Mayor Fennell hosted the event, themed to Spain. This year's winners were a husband and wife duo, A. and S. Gibson of the Peel Panto Players.

VAB sent Board of Directors member Mary Noble to the luncheon, as our group's representative.

Visual Arts Brampton did not nominate anyone this year. Last years' winner, John Cutruzzola, was finally recognized after three unsuccessful nominations.

Cutruzzola is to hold Inzola's charity pancake breakfast again this year on June 18th, and is a sponsor of the Brampton Folk Festival, happening later that day. The Art Gallery of Peel Juried Art Show has just ended; John sponsors an annual award at the show.
