The Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo announced Wednesday that Professor of Theatre Arts Lanny Potts will be the latest with K connections to receive the Community Medal of Arts Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1985, the annual award has recognized an artist who is a leader in their field, has a significant body of creative activity, has received local and\/or national acclaim, and has impacted the Kalamazoo community through art. It encompasses all art forms, including but not limited to visual, musical, theatrical, literary, performing, multimedia, architecture and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think this is an honor for all artists within the community,\u201d Potts said.&nbsp;\u201cWhen we celebrate the work of any of us, we celebrate the work of all of us\u2014as artists, as a community,&nbsp;and importantly, as an incredibly rich artistic community. The work of the Arts Council celebrates this incredibly vibrant cultural life in our community. When I think about being recognized as part of our artistic community, I think about all of the amazing artists I\u2019ve been able to work with, the collaborations that have been fostered, and the stories that have been told.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potts\u2019 local work began in summer 1986. After serving the John F. Kennedy Center for the American College Theatre Festival as a stage manager, he worked as a technical director and lighting designer with the Kalamazoo Civic Youth Theatre program. He was hired in 1987 as the technical director for K\u2019s Festival Playhouse, which then was a summer professional equity theatre founded in 1962 by Nelda K. Balch and Dorothy Upjohn Dalton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since, his career has included professional design and production work in Germany; international design work in Ca\u00e7eres, Spain, and Varanasi, India; and hundreds of local and regional productions. Close to home, Potts has earned five <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/wilde-award\/\">Michigan Wilde Awards<\/a> in the category of Best Lighting Design through the Farmers Alley productions of <em>Gypsy<\/em>, <em>The Light in the Piazza<\/em>, <em>Bridges of Madison County<\/em>, <em>Camelot<\/em> and <em>Bright Star<\/em>. He also earned a national lighting award for <em>Fun Home<\/em> from the John F. Kennedy Center; regional design awards in Atlanta, Chattanooga and Lansing; and two governor\u2019s commendations in Georgia and Michigan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1-577x800.jpg\" alt=\"Community Medal of Arts Award recipient Lanny Potts smiling at a graduate during Commencement\" class=\"wp-image-23565\" style=\"width:344px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1-577x800.jpg 577w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1-300x416.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1-108x150.jpg 108w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1-1107x1536.jpg 1107w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/10\/c_Elemental_Comm_23_4203-2-002-1.jpg 1261w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Professor of Theatre Lanny Potts will receive a 2024 Community Medal of Arts Award from the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Potts says his greatest joy has been working with students for 27 years alongside his amazing colleagues at K, where he received the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/lucasse-fellowship-ambrose-prize\/\">2024\u201325 Lucasse Fellowship<\/a> for Excellence in Scholarship in September, honoring his contributions in creative work, research and publication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As an artist I consider it a gift to be able to work in Kalamazoo, and as an educator, an honor to work alongside our amazing students at Kalamazoo College.
