History--Biography
The Brandeis Creative Arts Awards were created in 1956 to recognize
excellence in the arts, and to help draw the attention of the campus
community to the lives and works of active American artists. As
originally conceived, awards were presented for painting, poetry, music,
and theater. Over the years these categories were enlarged to include
sculpture, architecture, film, photography, and other creative arts.
Generally each category received two awards: a Medal to an established
artist in celebration of a lifetime achievement; and a Citation to an
individual in an earlier stage of his or her career. In addition, from
time to time the Creative Arts Awards Commission bestowed the Notable
Achievement Award to a person whose contributions to the Creative Arts in
America exceeded his or her contemporaries beyond the boundaries of the
Medal and Citation.
The recipients for the annual awards were decided by the Creative Arts
Awards Commission, a group which included artists, collectors, curators,
and art administrators. The Commission authorized the selection of the
jury chairpersons and the formation of each jury, and then voted to
accept or reject the recommendation of the juries for the Medal and
Citation recipients, as well as for the nomination for the Notable
Achievement Awards recipients.
Prior to 1990, the awards were celebrated at two events in the Spring of
each academic year. The first was a festival held on the Brandeis campus
which provided an opportunity for the recipients to share their work and
talent with Brandeis students and faculty. The second was an evening
affair, with a reception, a visual or live presentation of each
artist's work, and the award ceremony in New York City. After 1990
the award ceremony and the campus festival were combined into a day-long
program held on the Brandeis campus.
In 1995, the Creative Arts Awards evolved into The Poses Institute of
Arts at Brandeis University. Continuing the legacy of artistic
recognition, The Poses Institute of Arts seeks to "honor
extraordinary artistic achievement" by awarding annual residencies
for artists in diverse artistic disciplines.
