2022 ARTIST AWARDS

The purpose of the Arts and Culture Commission is to foster and encourage
artistic expression and achievement in the fields of visual, verbal, and performing
arts while preserving and advancing the arts for the benefit of the citizens of Cupertino. Each year the Commission presents awards to deserving artists in
recognition of local talent in these fields.

The Distinguished Artist Award recognizes established artists having a substantial body of work that display merit and excellence, as well as a history of contributions to their artistic field and the community.

The Young Artist Award is presented to deserving young artists in recognition of local achievements in the visual arts in the following age groups:

Group A: 6 to 10 years old
