Constance Hawk Prize Launches New Arts Initiative

Licking County’s arts scene just got a major boost with the launch of the Constance J. Hawk Prize for the Arts—a three-year initiative aiming to unveil at least one new public art piece annually. Led by Janice LoRaso and local arts champions, the program offers a $30,000 award to fuel creative collaborations, with string quartet Ethel as the inaugural winner. Their November residency will spark community engagement through performances and workshops with local partners, honoring Connie Hawk, a longtime arts advocate whose legacy continues to shape the county’s cultural landscape.
