Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
We are proud to announce the recipients of the New Times‘ 2015 Big Brain Awards.
The five winners were presented with plaques and each received $500 to further their creative endeavors in visual art, culinary art, performing art, design, and music at Artopia on Saturday, May 9, at Monarch Theatre in downtown Phoenix.
