The 34^th Annual Artie Awards, presented by Buffalo Toronto Public Media, is coming to Asbury Hall!

The Artie Awards were started in 1991 by Anthony Chase, Theater Editor of Artvoice, an online weekly newspaper in Western New York.  The Arties was presented by Artvoice for the first 26 years.  BTPM (formerly WNED/WBFO) radio became the presenting organization in year 27.

Currently, the Artie Committee votes in 20 categories to select the nominees and winners for the season’s productions at Western New York theaters.

To be eligible for an Artie, an artist must live and work in the Buffalo, NY area, while a theater must produce work locally, primarily with local artists.

Most importantly, the Artie Awards Ceremony is a benefit, with all proceeds from the evening (along with proceeds from area theatres’ participation in the Red Ribbon Campaign) going to an HIV/AIDS related charity.
