Robert H. Chambers Award 2006
Common Ground on the Hill has presented the Robert H. Chambers Award for Excellence in the Traditional Arts every year since 2000. The award is named in honor of Robert H. Chambers, who, as President of Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) and as a Founding Director of Common Ground on the Hill, understood the innate power and potential of the traditional arts to help foster understanding among people of different cultures. His unwavering support was essential in the early development of Common Ground on the Hill and is remembered gratefully in the naming of this annual award. The award is presented at the Roots Music & Arts Festival held in early July.
