Excellence in Fine Art Education

In an effort to recognize and acknowledge individual artists, patrons and institutions that have made a difference in the arts in America, the Portrait Society has established three awards. The Excellence in Fine Art Education award was created in 2002 to recognize and honor institutions or individuals that promote a skill-based education.
