The 12th annual Westport Arts Awards Celebration Sunday at Westport Town Hall will honor area residents for their contributions to the arts.

The 2 p.m. ceremony is sponsored by the Town of Westport and its Arts Advisory Committee.

Since 1994, the committee has presented awards to area residents who have contributed significantly to the arts in four disciplines - music, theater, visual arts and literature.

Four members of the Westport-Weston communities—Gerald Levinson, David Wiltse, Stanley Bleifeld and James Naughton—will be presented Arts Achievement Awards in music, literature, the visual arts and theater, respectively.
