ARISON AWARD
The Arison Award is given annually to an individual who has had a significant influence on the development of young American artists. The honor carries a $10,000 donation to an arts organization or charity chosen by the recipient.

The award, established in 2001, is named for the late visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist Ted Arison, founder of NFAA and of Carnival Cruise Lines, who sought an all-encompassing method to nurture young artists in America.

The award is presented at the NFAA's An Affair of the Arts Performance and Gala.
