Awards
Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement
The Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement, first presented in 1988, celebrates the career of an artist who, among other distinctions, has demonstrated particular commitment to his or her work throughout a long career and has had an important impact nationally and internationally on the field. 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 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.
