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.
Ces artistes ont choisi de faire leur vie et leur carrière dans le Minnesota, faisant ainsi de notre État un lieu plus riche sur le plan culturel. D'abord et avant tout, ils ont produit un art créatif et incisif qui reflète leur point de vue particulier et extraordinaire.
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.
