Lincoln Theatre Honored with Governor’s Heritage Award

It is with great pleasure that the Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation announces that The Historic Lincoln Theatre has been selected to receive the Governor’s Heritage Award in the category of “Heritage Organization.” The Governor’s Heritage Awards, established in 1989, “honor outstanding individuals and organizations whose dedication to preserving and promoting traditions and cultural heritage is worthy of state recognition.”

Nominated by the Lincoln Theatre Center Foundation, with letters of support from friends, Lincoln Theatre volunteers, community members, and Skagit County business and political leaders. The nomination was reviewed by a distinguished panel of arts professionals and approved by the Governor, naming the Lincoln Theatre as a “cultural cornerstone of historic downtown Mount Vernon, WA and a central performing arts venue for the entire region.”
