The Missouri Arts Council has selected the City of Branson as Missouri’s 2022 recipient of the “Creative Community” Award.
Since 1983, the Missouri Arts Council and the State of Missouri have been honoring the people can communities that make the arts happen.
In the press release from the Missouri Arts Council, it cites Branson as a national tourism magnet centered on theater, traditional Ozark arts, and especially music—now boasting nearly 40 theaters along nine miles east to west, from the 1936 Historic Owen Theatre in Branson’s historic downtown to the Silver Dollar City theme park’s outdoor amphitheater, that each week present more than 100 shows with a variety of music and other entertainment.
An independent panel of Missourians representing the arts community throughout the state selects the honorees from among public nominations.
