East of the River Distinguished Artist Award
Presented by Honfleur Gallery with funding from the Gautier Family
.
The first Annual East of the River Distinguished Artist Award recognizes a current East of the Anacostia River artist for artistic excellence as well as significant impact on the DC cultural life.
One EOR artist is honored with this $5,000 award each year.
Nominations for 2012’s East of the River Distinguished Artist Award are due by June 15, 2012.
Who is eligible?

The award celebrates the achievements and contributions of East of the River artists who, individually and collectively, have made an impact for the wealth of arts in Washington, D.C. Although these East of the River artists have been working in the District of Columbia over a number of years, their role in the DC cultural scene is often overlooked. In recognizing them, the award will help document the East of the River cultural history and continue the long succession of tradition EOR artists. This award is the newest component of the ARCH Development Corporation support for local artists and will be given on an annual basis.

Who chooses the Distinguished Artist?
The panel is composed of individuals representing a variety of artistic disciplines and others well versed in the history of the arts in the District of Columbia and with specific knowledge of the East of the River neighborhoods. This panel then recommends a candidate to the ARCH’s board of directors.
When is the Distinguished Artist announced?
The deadline is June15, 2012. No extensions will be given. The artist will be notified by August 1, 2012.
