جائزة ماكنايت للفنان المتميز

Recognizing the artists and culture bearers who have made significant lifelong contributions to Minnesota, enriching our communities.

The annual $100,000 McKnight Distinguished Artist Award recognizes artists and culture bearers who have made a lifelong commitment to creating art that is locally, regionally, and/or nationally significant.

اختار هؤلاء الفنانون أن يجعلوا حياتهم ومهنهم في ولاية مينيسوتا ، مما جعل دولتنا مكانًا أكثر ثراءً من الناحية الثقافية. أولاً وقبل كل شيء ، أنتجوا فنًا ثوريًا مبدعًا يعكس وجهة نظرهم الخاصة وغير العادية.

McKnight Distinguished Artists have also inspired other artists and culture bearers, earned acclaim from audiences, patrons, critics, and other arts professionals, and some have founded and strengthened arts organizations.
