Dylan Earns National Medal of Arts
Last week folk legend Bob Dylan earned the National Medal of Arts, an award which celebrates "the breadth and depth of American architecture, design, film, music, performance, theater and visual art.”
Dylan was not present to receive the honor, which came in the form of medals handed out by President and First Lady Obama.
The award, which is given by the National Endowment for the Arts, is bestowed upon those who exemplify “the breadth and depth of American architecture, design, film, music, performance, theater and visual art.”
Others who received the honor included designer Milton Glaser; artist and architect Maya Lin; singer/actor Rita Moreno; soprano singer Jessye Norman; artist Frank Stella; conductor Michael Tilson Thomas; composer/conductor John Williams; Charleston, South Carolina mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. and Clint Eastwood.
