BELLA LEWITZKY RECEIVES NATIONAL MEDAL OF ARTS

One of the greatest and the best of the best in the business. Unquestionably, Ms. Lewitzky is a legend and a world leader  in the field of modern dance. A gem. A national treasure. She  has been selected by the President of the United States to receive the prestigious National Medal of Arts. The award is given to individuals and groups who in the president's judgment are deserving of special recognition by reason of their outstanding contributions to the excellence, growth, support and availability of arts in the United States. The National Medal of Arts ceremony took place in the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington D.C. on January 9, followed by a black-tie dinner at the White House honoring the award recipients.
