In 2015, IOTA and Off The Leash Productions were co-artistic directors for the 2015 Creative Nova Scotia Awards Gala featuring The Prix Grand Pré, Established Artist Recognition Awards, Community Arts and Culture Recognition Award, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia Masterworks Award, and the Portia White Award. Over twenty talented artists were invited to participate in and honour the evening’s event, offering collaborative artistic expression that shows the diversity of artistic vocation in the province; visual, media, performance, light and sound designer, craft and installation were included to perform and present their work throughout the evening adding to the vigor of the thematic, emphasizing that Art is Out Loud. Interviews with participating artists were released every few days leading up to the Awards and can be found HERE.
The final Art Out Loud interview conducted with the five artist creators who wrote and performed the awards ceremony can be found:
