The 2025 Mayor’s Night of the Arts was a celebration of creativity, dedication, and the individuals who make Airdrie’s arts community thrive. This year, the RMSO is proud to recognize two of our own - Kim Raffin, who received the Patron of the Arts Award, and Carlos Foggin, named Professional Artist of the Year. Their contributions, along with those of all the talented nominees, reflect the passion and generosity that sustain the arts in our community. Carlos, as Music Director and Conductor, has dedicated himself to bringing symphonic music to communities across Alberta, inspiring audiences and musicians alike with his artistry and leadership. The Mayor’s Night of the Arts highlights the incredible talent, generosity, and commitment of Airdrie’s arts community. We are grateful to all the nominees, artists, and supporters who continue to enrich the cultural landscape of our region.
