A facilitator of private philanthropy, the Arts Foundation of New Zealand supports artistic excellence through its permanent Endowment fund. Legacies help grow the fund, with income generated enabling the foundation to run. Donations from Patrons of the Arts Foundation are awarded directly to artists at the annual New Zealand Arts Awards. The foundation produces award programmes that provide recognition and support to artists working in all art forms. By the end of 2015, the foundation will have honoured 178 artists and distributed over $5 million to artists.〔http://www.thearts.co.nz/artists.php List of Artists awarded by the Arts Foundation〕 Arts Foundation Awards celebrate achievement in an artists career and are presented on an annual or biannual basis. New Zealand's most senior artists are honoured at the Icon Awards. These awards recognise a lifetime of achievement and are considered the foundation's highest honour. Established artists receiving the Arts Foundation Laureate Award receive $50,000NZD each in recognition of their achievements at the New Zealand Arts Awards. Artists who are in the early stages of their career selected to receive a New Generation Award receive $25,000NZD each. In partnership, the foundation produces the Marti Friedlander Photographic Award, of $25,000NZD to assist the career of a photographer, and the Harriet Friedlander Residency, which is a residency in New York valued at $80,000NZD. In 2011 the inaugural Mallinson Rendel Illustrators Award was presented. The award is presented every two years to a children's book illustrator with published work of a high standard and includes a cash gift of $10,000. Supporters of the arts are also recognised. Every year an individual, couple or trust is honoured with the Award for Patronage and are gifted $20,000NZD by the foundation to distribute to artists or art projects of their choice. From time to time the foundation honours an individual or institution that has contributed to the arts through the Governors' Award. Recipients of awards are selected without their knowing they are under consideration by independent panels of arts peers or curators. ==Icon Award== The Arts Foundation of New Zealand established the Icon Awards as an honours system to celebrate and acknowledge New Zealand art-makers who have achieved the highest standards of artistic expression.〔http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/events/awards/artsfoundationlaureate.html Book Council〕 Limited to a living circle of 20, Icons are pioneers and leaders from all arts disciplines, living and working around the world. To date, 21 artists have been acknowledged as Icons. In 2003, ten artists were honoured, six in 2005 and five in 2007. With the deaths of Janet Frame, Don Selwyn and Hone Tuwhare, the living circle stands at eighteen in 2008. Each Icon receives a medallion and pin designed by stone sculptor John Edgar. The artist is gifted the pin in perpetuity, while the medallion is presented to a successor at a future Icon Award ceremony following the artist's death. In 2008 the Arts Foundation began commissioning oral histories from Icons. In time, the foundation hopes that an oral history will be deposited with the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington covering the life of each Icon artist. This will ensure the artists' stories are on public record and available for future generations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arts Foundation of New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
