By Cindy AguirreHerrera
(Seguin) -- Despite the current fight against COVID-19, one national effort is not giving up its fight against CANCER.
Lydia Robles, Outstanding Contributor of the Arts (Seguin) – The Seguin Commission on the Arts isn’t letting this year stop its annual recognition of those in the local art community. On Wednesday evening, the group held a virtual awards ceremony at the Texas Theatre where Seguin Mayor Don Keil was on hand to announce this year’s recipients. In a typical year, these awards
are presented at the group’s annual Art at the Texas event. “Since we were unable to have Art at the Texas this year, we wanted to make sure we still recognized our local organizations and individuals who contribute so much to the art community in Seguin,” said Cathy Kirk, chair of the commission on the arts.
