> More about the making of the Guvvy and it's unveiling on November 27, 2007.
"The design of The Guvvy Award embodies the spirit of support between individuals and organizations that make the arts a priority within Michigan's cultural community. The linear support represents the tireless dedication we must have for the arts and the value they add to our lives. The curve reminds us of the spiraling energy of creativity, always flowing and moving. Together leading us to the blue sphere, which signifies the vision we share in sustaining outstanding creative achievements within Michigan for arts and culture."
