Good evening,
To those of you viewing from the audience today and to those who are viewing virtually and online, I extend my heartfelt greetings to you all.
I wish to also express my appreciation and well wishes to the Bermuda Arts Council for their commitment to ensuring that this event took place this year.
This occasion is particularly poignant because the arts have suffered tremendously during the last two years of the pandemic. So it’s wonderful that we can come together to recognise and highlight the importance of art in all its forms during this ceremony.
