Pikes Peak Arts Council award winners announced You may or may not have watched the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, but another ceremony took place earlier that day as the Pikes Peak Arts Council announced winners in its Awards for Excellence in the Arts.
The big winners were The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore, a production of the Colorado's Classical Youth Ballet, the Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble and the Chamber Orchestra of the Springs; the Star Bar Players' Night and Her Stars; and the Fine Arts Center Theatre Company's Into the Woods.
