In April IU South Bend hosted the prestigious Governor’s Arts Awards, a biennial event presented by the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) that recognizes Indiana’s brightest stars in the areas of artistic achievement, philanthropy, arts education and leadership. Two of the six awards presented by Gov. Mitch Daniels went to influential South Bend figures. Alexander Toradze received the award for his outstanding achievements as IU South Bend’s Martin Endowed Professor of Piano. The world-renowned graduate of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Moscow founded IU South Bend’s esteemed Toradze Piano Studio, which showcases some of the world’s most talented students. South Bend philanthropist June H. Edwards was recognized for her significant contributions to the arts, including her service as vice president of the IUSB Arts Foundation, making the largest donation in history to the South Bend Museum of Art, and establishing the South Bend Symphony Chamber Music series. The evening began in the Student Activities Center, which was masterfully transformed into an elegant dining hall, with a parachute placed above the gymnasium floor to create a tent. More than 300 attendees from around the state dined as live music was provided by the IUSB Jazz Ensemble. “I think the event changed a lot of people’s perceptions about IU South Bend,” says Dean Marvin Curtis. “They didn’t know where they were that night. They knew it was a gym when they got there, but when they saw the students in costumes leading them down the steps, it was really intriguing. It just made everything seem magical that night.” The formal awards ceremony took place in the Northside Hall Campus Auditorium, with each award recipient introduced with a video vignette highlighting their contributions to the arts. Performances were given by the Euclid Quartet, harpists from IU Bloomington’s Jacobs School of Music, the Mario Community School for the Arts, and Alexander Toradze Jr., an IU Bloomington student and son of recipient Alexander Toradze. Also receiving awards were actor and arts educator Mark Fauser of Marion, harpist Susann McDonald and soprano Sylvia McNair of the IU Bloomington Jacobs School of Music, and the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. 44
