The public is invited to join us for the 2017 Lifetime Achievemet Awards.
Since 1976, the Brandywine Workshop and Archives has honored individuals who have excelled in the fine arts as an artist, curator, art historian, patron, or collector. In addition to their achievements in the field, the awards also recognize contributions as an educator or advocate for social change through their work in the arts.
This year, we honor Sonya Clark, a mid-career, Virginia-based artist whose large body of work already reflects a lifetime’s worth of exploration and accomplishments; El Anatsui, perhaps the most celebrated contemporary artist on the continent of Africa today; and Ruth E. Fine, a legendary American art historian-curator responsible for some of the most historically significant exhibitions of the last three decades.
