The McKnight Foundation invites nominations for its eighth Distinguished Artist Award, in recognition of individual artists with enduring and exceptional careers. Nominations must be postmarked by March 31, 2005.
The award honors one artist each year for having made a substantial impact on the arts in Minnesota over a lifetime. First and foremost the quality of each nominated artist'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 they are nominated. The panel will not consider those from Minnesota who achieved most of their success elsewhere.
Please send nominations in writing (no fax or email submissions) to: McKnight Distinguished Artist Award, 710 South Second Street, Suite 400, Minneapolis, MN 55401
