KRESGE EMINENT ARTIST AWARD
SELECTION PROCESS
The Kresge Arts in Detroit Advisory Council selects a panel of independent local artists and arts professionals, residing in the metropolitan Detroit tri-county area (Wayne, Oakland or Macomb counties), who are experienced and well-respected for their knowledge of and involvement in the local cultural community. Panelists represent the diversity of disciplines, ethnicity, gender, age and professional background.
The Kresge Eminent Artist Panelists remain anonymous during the selection process. The names of the Kresge Eminent Artist Panelists are revealed once the Kresge Eminent Artist Award is announced.
Artist Nominations
The Kresge Arts in Detroit Advisory Council nominates artists for the Kresge Eminent Artist Award.
An artist may NOT self-nominate and community members may NOT nominate artists, however they can approach an Advisory Council member with suggested nominees.
Once an artist has received the Kresge Eminent Artist Award, they are NOT eligible to apply for a Kresge Artist Fellowship. However, if an artist has received the Kresge Artist Fellowship, they ARE eligible to be nominated, at a later date, for the Kresge Eminent Artist Award.
