James Welch Sr. Arts Leadership Award
The James Welch Sr. Arts Leadership Award, presented by Stoll Keenon Ogden and Fund for the Arts, honors an individual who has made a substantial impact to the Greater Louisville arts community through volunteer commitment and ongoing leadership.
First presented in 2010, the award is a tribute to the late James Welch Sr., one of the founding members of Stoll Keenon Ogden’s legacy firm, who quietly provided strong guidance and support to the Louisville arts community for decades.
The award recognizes someone who has made significant contributions and a lasting impact on the Louisville arts community in a quiet, often unrecognized manner.
