The Viola Awards began in 2009 as a way to bring together and celebrate the arts in Flagstaff. The Awards are named after Viola Babbitt, a long time advocate of the arts and painter. Viola was born in the Arizona territory in 1894, later teaching music and reading before settling into a big house on Leroux Street in Flagstaff. In the 1950’s, she started painting and later, established the Art Barn as Flagstaff’s first community arts center. A firm believer in providing community access to the arts, she lobbied Coconino County to build a better facility for a community arts center: the Coconino Center for the Arts. Viola died in 1994, shortly after her 100th birthday, yet we continue to honor her work and legacy as a founding member of our creative community.
