Kathy Kolkhorst Ruddy was an attorney with a passion for the arts. She left her mark in Juneau in many ways — from co-founder the Juneau Jazz and Classics festival to leading a campaign for the whale statue at Overstreet Park. The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council recently named their annual awards in her honor.

The winners of the Juneau Arts and Humanity Council’s Kathy Kolkhorst Ruddy Awards will be announced on Wednesday’s Juneau Afternoon.

JAHC recognizes artists in a number of areas: arts in education, inspirational leadership, volunteerism as well as individual and lifetime achievement.

Also on Wednesday’s show:

  • The Juneau Police Department looks ahead to the start of the school year.
  • August’s offerings from the Juneau-Douglas City Museum.
  • The “Skagway Exposé,” Taylor Vidic’s musical romp in a town with a colorful history.
