Joey Award

The "Joey" Award

This bronze statue, sculpted and cast by TAG Life Member Robert Campbell, is presented annually to the TAG member who has made conspicuous contributions to the performing arts during the previous year. The likeness is a tribute to Joseph Pratt, Sr., who was the chief motivator for the organization during its resurgence era in the early and mid 1980's.

Pratt was the recipient of the original casting in 1984. Those who were honored in succeeding years with a re-casting of the work are named on a plaque in the Center for the Arts.
