McKnight Foundation Seeks Nominations for Distinguished Artist Award

Deadline: March 31, 2010

The McKnight Foundation is accepting nominations for its 13th Distinguished Artist Award, which recognizes individual artists in Minnesota who have built enduring and exceptional careers.

The $50,000 award honors one artist each year for his or her substantial impact on the arts in Minnesota over a lifetime. The chief selection criteria is the quality of the nominee's work. Other considerations include the artist's commitment to his or her field and ways the artist has enriched life for audiences and the community.

Artists in all disciplines are eligible for nomination but may not apply for the award themselves. Although nominees must have worked in Minnesota much of their lives, they need not reside in Minnesota when nominated.
