The Distinguished Artist Award
The Foundation awards $10,000 each May to an artist who has demonstrated outstanding talent and an exceptional diversity of accomplishment. Recipients of the Foundation’s Distinguished Artist Award also are recognized for their contributions as teachers, mentors, or advocates. Many New England artists who have received this award have later achieved national and international distinction.
Selection Process
Having identified the focus in the field to be recognized – music, literature,or visual arts – a Foundation Board member is delegated in November to compose a jury, which recommends a candidate for the Award. The Award is presented after the Club’s annual meeting in May.
