"Stephen is a living legend in this city. He devotes inestimable amounts of time and energy to fellow artists in this city, nurturing their careers, advising and guiding them, all while producing exquisite and sustained photographic projects for his national audience," says Juliet Feibel, Executive Director of ArtsWorcester. 

DiRado will receive the ArtsWorcester Award during ArtsWorcester's Annual Meeting, which is immediately followed by a reception celebrating him and the first exhibitions of the ArtsWorcester season, Material Needs and The Pace of Nature.
