leRoy white soul & conscience award 

The Arts & Cultural Alliance of Newport County in partnership with the White Family, are pleased to offer an award in honor of LeRoy White, to be given annually to a musician, of any age or situation, whose life and/or art contributes to and connects the community.  LeRoy was deeply embedded in the Newport community and brought his music to concerts, parades, unexpected venues and everywhere that people gathered, playing and praying for peace and amity among people. His family and The Arts & Cultural Alliance honor his legacy by offering an award of $4,000 each year to be used in any manner, by a musician who embodies the spirit of LeRoy’s gift to Newport and the world.

The award deadline is May 15, 2024 and will be presented in June 2024. The recipient will be asked to describe their experiences, principally to help the committee promote the award opportunity in the community.
