Indepth Arts News: "Call for Artists: Nominate a New Zealand Artist for an Icon Award" 2004-12-31 until 2005-01-31 Art Adventures New Zealand Christchurch, , NZ New Zealand (Aotearoa)
The 2003 Icon Artists were Len Castle – potter; Janet Frame – writer (1924-2004); Maurice Gee – writer; Ralph Hotere – visual artist; Russell Kerr – choreographer; Sir Donald McIntyre – opera singer; Milan Mrkusich – painter/visual artist; Diggeress Te Kanawa – weaver; Hone Tuwhare – poet; and Sir Miles Warren – architect.
These Icons were acknowledged for the leadership and inspiration they provide to New Zealand and celebrated for their achievements as the champions of New Zealand arts.
All suggested names will be forwarded to the Arts Foundation governors, who will choose seven recipients to be honoured at the Arts Foundation of New Zealand Icon Awards in 2005. Other artists will be celebrated at subsequent events, creating a living circle of 20 Icon Artists.
Each Icon receives a specially commissioned medallion and pin. The artist will keep the pin in perpetuity, but following their death, their medallion is presented to a successor at the next Icon Awards ceremony. Thus the mana of each award increases significantly over time.
The Arts Foundation of New Zealan Icon Awards – Honouring Pre-eminence :: Whakamana i te hiranga are held in conjunction with Principal Sponsor Forsyth Barr and Icon Awards Supporting Sponsor AMP.
