Texas Medal of Arts Awards - Texas Cultural Trust

2021 Texas Medal of Arts Awards

Fall 2021
Honoring Texas Legends and Celebrating the Power of the Arts

The concentration of the eleventh biennial Texas Medal of Arts Awards will examine the Power of the Arts amid COVID-19. Times such as these magnify the power of the arts – as an emotional salve, a form of expression, a reflection of current events, a universal language, a uniting force, and a symbol of hope. Our creative community has provided countless virtual engagement opportunities to keep us connected, entertained, and comforted. Access to arts and culture will be essential as we heal, rebuild, and recover. Please join us in honoring and supporting the arts and culture of Texas.

“Art is important to use because it adds to ALL our lives – and in so many different ways. The arts and arts-related businesses account for billions of dollars in annual spending, and they are responsible for over a million jobs in the state of Texas. That’s pretty amazing. And it shows that art is important beyond what pleasure it gives us. As it turns out, supporting the arts is simply good business.”

Edward E. Whitacre, Jr.

Former Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, AT&T
