Artist Award for a Distinguished Body of Work
The Artist Award for a Distinguished Body of Work, first presented in 1988, is a peer award given to an artist for exceptional work through exhibitions, presentations, or performances mounted from September 1st in the preceding year to August 31st in the current year. This award is presented to a living artist of national or international stature and it must tie the artist to an exceptional exhibition. We urge you to contact five to ten colleagues, students, peers, collaborators, and/or co-workers of the nominee to write letters of support as well. The different perspectives and anecdotes from the multiple letters of support provide the committee with a clearer picture of the qualities and attributes of the candidate.
Submission Guidelines
- Each nomination should include a c.v. (limit two pages), a nomination form, and up to ten letters of support. Letters of support are important for reference, but the awards decisions are the responsibilities of the juries based on their expert assessment of the qualifications of the nominees.
- Applications for the 2009 Awards must be received by August 31, 2008 at CAA. For further information please email Emmanuel Lemakis, CAA Director of Programs.
