Greetings from the Board Chair and President
We are pleased to welcome you to the 2013 Americans for the Arts National
Arts Awards. It is altogether fitting that we take time each year to celebrate the
extraordinary achievements of those individuals who are devoted to enriching
our country’s cultural landscape, via their own indelible artistry or committed
leadership.
Each of our honorees—and each one of you in the room tonight—shares with us a
dedication to advancing the arts and arts education in America. They realize that
the arts are connectors. Connectors to our own potential by igniting a creative,
bold, and innovative mindset, and connectors to people in the communities where
we live and the places where we work. In fact, the connector word “and” says it
all—the arts and economic prosperity. . .the arts and healing. . .the arts and better
performing students. . . the arts and community revitalization. . .the arts and cultural
diplomacy. . . .

Tonight’s event delivers a snapshot of how America is made better through the arts
and its myriad connectors. We thank you—the artists and the friends of the arts—
for once again letting us tell that story.

The National Arts Awards Chair
Dear Friends of Americans for the Arts,
I’m happy to once again welcome each of you to the National Arts Awards, the
annual salute to some of our country’s most stellar artists and arts leaders by
Americans for the Arts.
Our featured artist this year is Will Cotton, whose take on our culture’s iconography
via sugar and sweets surrounds us tonight. Will has joined us at this event in years
past, and I’m so grateful that this year he is not only here with us, but that we have
the pleasure of being surrounded by his magical candy forest.
The incomparable B.B. King receives our Lifetime Achievement Award this year—I
recently read that Mr. King has played more than 15,000 performances during his
long and distinguished career. Beyond his own considerable achievements, think of
how many other musicians and artists he has influenced. The mind boggles!
4
Influencing and inspiring others is also the lifelong work of Alberto Carvalho, and he
is doing it as the superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, our nation’s
fourth largest school system, where he uses the arts to help increase student
achievement. That strategy has particular resonance for me as a proud product
of the public school system of Orange County, CA. It was a public high school
course in art history that ignited my own lifelong passion for the visual arts and my
dedication to arts education, so I personally understand the power of what an early
introduction to the arts can do.
In the tradition of the philanthropy award’s namesakes, another couple who has
turned their personal success story into one that inspires others through their
generosity is Mary and John Pappajohn from Des Moines. A singular example
is demonstrated by their gift of an ever growing sculpture collection in their
hometown, which now graces a four-and-a-half acre downtown city park named
in their honor. Just weeks ago, a commissioned work by Ólafur Elíasson was
added to the already remarkable collection of work by some of the world’s most
celebrated artists.
Sometimes we actually get to see young actors grow up on the screen, and this
has been the case with Dakota Fanning, who receives the award named for my
family’s foundation. She is now 19, but many of us first discovered her at the age of
seven in I Am Sam, playing opposite Sean Penn and earning a Screen Actors Guild
Award nomination. She has been praised by some of the best in film and television.
She has three films opening soon and her continued career is one that we all
greatly anticipate.
Finally, the Outstanding Contributions to the Arts Award goes to sculptor Joel
Shapiro, who has also previously joined us at this event. He has truly been an
American ambassador of art abroad, creating pieces for the American Embassy in
Ottawa, and for the consulate in Guangzhou, China, as well as exhibiting his work
far and wide. His view of art contributing to a dialogue between cultures is one I
think we all share and deeply believe in.
I would like to thank all of my co-chairs this evening. Edye and Eli Broad have
given steadfast sponsorship of our award for individual philanthropy, and similarly,
Isabella and Ted Dalenson for the lifetime achievement award. The four of them
set the bar very high when it comes to supporting Americans for the Arts and our
country’s artists and arts organizations. I would also like to acknowledge the hard
work of our other co-chairs Sarah Arison, Julie and Edward J. Minskoff and
Carolyn Powers.
We remain grateful to each of you here tonight, especially the benefit committee
and my colleagues on the board and staff of Americans for the Arts. I extend my
thanks to the honorees for allowing us to acknowledge their contributions—it’s a
privilege to again chair this event.

B.B. KING
B.B. King is in the
eighth decade of
his life and is still
looking down new
musical avenues in
which to present his
brand of the blues.
In September 2008,
the B.B. King Museum
and Delta Interpretive
Center was opened in his hometown of Indianola,
MI, and serves as a combined B.B. King showcase,
learning facility, recording studio, and tourist
attraction.
Photo by JB Brookman Photography Publicity, 2011
Mr. King’s first real public exposure came as a disc
jockey/performer on black-owned radio station
WDIA. In 1949, he began his recording career,
cutting a number of sides for a now-forgotten
Nashville label. A year later, he cut “Three O’Clock
Blues,” his first #1 R&B hit. Among Mr. King’s many
classics are “The Thrill Is Gone,” “Payin’ The Cost
To Be The Boss,” “Everyday I Have The Blues,”
“You Don’t Know Me,” and “Why I Sing The Blues.”
His early recordings found their way to Britain,
with an audience for these recordings that
included young performers like Mick Jagger, Eric
Clapton, Jeff Beck, and George Harrison, and
groups like the Bluesbreakers, Yardbirds, and
Animals—all part of an emerging blues scene
that was to combine with rock and become the
dominant popular music of the time. Mr. King
toured and recorded with British Invasion artists,
established permanent footholds in the European
markets, and established himself as a global entity
as both a performer and recording artist.
Isabella and Theodor Dalenson
Lifetime Achievement Award
To date, more than 75 albums bear his name, and
Mr. King is the recipient of many honors, including
the Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award (1987)
to go with his 15 other Grammy Awards; induction
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1987) and
the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame (1984); seven
W.C. Handy Foundation Entertainer of the Year
Awards; and seven honorary doctorates from
such institutions as Yale University, the Berklee
College of Music, Rhodes College of Memphis,
and Mississippi Valley State University. He has
been designated a Kennedy Center Honoree and
National Heritage Fellow. In 1990, he received the
National Medal of Arts, and in 2006 the highest
civilian award in the United States, the Presidential
Medal of Freedom.
Buddy Guy, presenter
For more than 50 years, guitarist Buddy Guy has
linked a proud American musical past with a new
generation of master musicians destined to keep
the blues alive. Born into a sharecropper family
in Louisiana, he belongs to an era that pioneered
the blues, working alongside such legendary
figures as Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny
Boy Williamson, Koko Taylor, B.B. King, and Little
Walter. He has been a tremendous influence on
virtually every notable artist who has played an
electric guitar in the last half century, including
Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix,
Jimmy Page, Slash, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughan,
and John Mayer. Mr. Guy has received six Grammy
Awards for both contemporary and traditional
blues, and in 2003, was awarded the National
Medal of Arts. Last year he was honored at The
35th Annual Kennedy Center Honors.

Featured Artist
WILL COTTON
Will Cotton has a B.F.A. from
Cooper Union in New York City
and also studied at the Beaux
Arts in Rouen, France and the
New York Academy of Art.
Interested in the cultural
iconography of desire, Mr.
Cotton’s art makes use of the
common language of consumer
culture and alimentary longing
shared across geographical
boundaries. The paintings often
feature scenery made up entirely
of pastries, candy, and melting
ice cream, sometimes inhabited
by human subjects. Working from
elaborate maquettes made of real baked goods
in his Manhattan studio, he aims to depict a
utopia in which all desire is fulfilled all the time.
His performative works have included
Cockaigne for Performa 2011 and Will Cotton
Bakery at Partners & Spade, NY. In 2010, he
served as the artistic director for pop singer
Katy Perry’s California Gurls music video. A
monograph of his work was published by Rizzoli
in 2011.
Mr. Cotton has been represented by the Mary
Boone Gallery in New York since 1999. He
exhibits with Baldwin Gallery, Aspen, CO;
Michael Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles; Galerie
Daniel Templon, Paris, France; and Jablonka
Galerie, Cologne, Germany. His paintings have
been shown at the San Francisco Museum of
Art (2000); the Seattle Art Museum (2002);
the Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany (2004); the
Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris (2008); and
the Albright-Knox, Buffalo, NY (2009), among
others. His work is in the permanent collections
of the Seattle Art Museum and the Columbus
Museum of Art, as well as many prominent
private collections.
Balloon Rabbit Award
Jeff Koons, a member of the Americans for the Arts Artists Committee, designed the National
Arts Awards Balloon Rabbit award in 2009. One of the world’s most preeminent artists, Mr.
Koons’s work has been widely exhibited and is in numerous public collections, including
the Museum of Modern Art; the Whitney Museum of American Art; and the Guggenheim
Museum in New York City; The National Gallery and Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
in Washington, DC; The Eli Broad Family Foundation in Santa Monica, CA; the Tate Gallery in
London; the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum. In 2008, he
was the first contemporary artist to have his work installed at the Palais de Versailles in France.
Mr. Koons was the focus of two major exhibitions of recent work this past year at the David
Zwirner and Larry Gagosian galleries in New York City. A retrospective of Mr. Koons’ work will
open at the Whitney Museum of American Art in June. The Americans for the Arts National Arts
Awards evokes both Mr. Koons’s iconic 1986 Rabbit sculpture as well as the balloon forms of his
Celebration Series and is truly a visual exemplification of artistic “celebration!” We are grateful to
the artist and his studio for their generosity and support.

The Bell Family Foundation Young Artist Award
To advance the arts in any discipline, we must continuously embrace the new. And that’s why we believe it is
so important to recognize young artists at the National Arts Awards.
Our involvement with Americans for the Arts reaches back to when we first began attending the awards
ceremony in 2002 and were so impressed to see a nationally prominent event where visual artists were
honored alongside artists from all other disciplines. The awards further distinguished themselves in our
minds because Americans for the Arts is committed to recognizing artists who not only excel at their craft,
but also represent the best of citizen advocates, using their prominence to help causes which further enrich
our communities and our nation. The fact that Americans for the Arts expressly honors young artists in
addition to those more established “lifetime” achievers is something that meshes completely with our
own interests.
20
Our longstanding commitment to young people and arts education, as well as to Americans for the Arts, on
whose board Maria sits and for which she chairs the National Arts Awards, makes the naming of this award
a perfect match for us. We couldn’t be more delighted to know that Dakota Fanning is the fourth recipient
of the award named for our family foundation.

Eli and Edythe Broad Award for Philanthropy in the Arts
We have been blessed with extraordinary success, and we were both raised in families where we were
taught that it is important to give back. Our philanthropy has proved to be harder work than running two
Fortune 500 companies. But it has been immensely rewarding.
We started The Broad Foundations to advance entrepreneurship for the public good in education, science,
and the arts—and the arts hold a special place for us.
We have collected art seriously since the 1970s when we first purchased a Van Gogh ink drawing. Eventually,
we moved on to contemporary art for the simple reason that we enjoyed talking to the artists, whose
view of the world broadened our perspectives. Our support of the arts is driven by the desire to make art
accessible to the broadest public.
At a time of limited resources and competing priorities, we need to make a case for the arts. We are fond of
saying that civilizations are not remembered by their bankers, lawyers, and accountants, but by their artists
and architects. The arts play a critical role in our society, as both a creative and economic engine.
We commend Americans for the Arts for its leadership in making the national case for private and public
arts funding. The collective investment we make in this country, fusing government and philanthropic dollars
to fund the visual and performing arts, is an extraordinary hallmark of American artistry.
We couldn’t be more pleased to lend our name to this award in recognition of those philanthropists who
share our beliefs. Tonight we commend and congratulate Mary and John Pappajohn for their extraordinary
leadership in the arts, particularly in their home state of Iowa and the city where they make their home,
Des Moines.
We encourage all of you to take advantage of the unlimited opportunities to get involved and make a
difference. The needs are significant, but the personal satisfaction and rewards are extraordinary.

Isabella and Theodor Dalenson Lifetime Achievement Award
We have both been delighted to be engaged with Americans for the Arts via Ted’s board membership and
to attend the National Arts Awards these past eight years, serving as co-chairs for six of them.
As art collectors, we are very interested in the historical perspective and the influence of contemporary
art and architecture on our society, and that is why we are so pleased to lend our name to the award for
lifetime achievement. This honor has been bestowed each year since the inaugural event in 1996, and it
has gone to recipients from every arts discipline and to such luminaries as opera singer Beverly Sills, the
choreographer Paul Taylor, architect Frank O. Gehry, the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, actor/director
Robert Redford, and painter James Rosenquist.
We couldn’t be happier to have the award bearing our name this year presented to blues icon B.B. King.

Alberto M. Carvalho
Superintendent of Schools
Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Miami-Dade County is so much the richer
and our future much brighter,
thanks to your visionary work in arts and education,
your indefatigable commitment to a complete and enriching education
for every child, and
your passion for innovation and transformation.
Bravo, Mr. Carvalho, the 2013 Arts Education Award winner.
The Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs,
the Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs Council and
the entire South Florida Arts Community applaud you.
25
YoungArts celebrates
the leadership of
Alberto Carvalho and
applauds his efforts to
ensure that every
public school student
in Miami-Dade County
has access to the arts.
26
Honoring Lin
Arison for her
dedication
to ensuring the
future of the arts
May his shining example
serve as inspiration for a
nationwide movement
to put the arts back
in our schools.
The National YoungArts Foundation was established in 1981 by Lin and Ted Arison to identify and support the nation’s next generation
of visual, literary and performing artists and to provide them with opportunities throughout their artistic careers. To date, YoungArts
has honored its 17,000+ alumni with over $6 million in monetary awards, facilitated over $150 million in college scholarships, and enabled its
participants to work with master teachers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Plácido Domingo, Quincy Jones and Martin Scorsese. YoungArts
is also the exclusive nominating agency for the U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, the country’s highest honor for young artists. Some of
YoungArts’ work is featured in its two-time Emmy nominated HBO series YoungArts MasterClass, with YoungArts Master teachers including
Edward Albee, Bobby McFerrin, James Rosenquist, Josh Groban, Wynton Marsalis, and Kathleen Turner sharing their art and life experiences
with YoungArts Winners. In conjunction with Columbia University’s Teachers College, YoungArts developed a Study Guide based on the
series, which is distributed free to schools nationwide to help increase arts education and awareness. A special thanks to Superintendent
Carvalho for supporting the development of the Study Guide and ensuring its distribution in all Miami-Dade junior and high schools.

We’re proud to support the voices of our community.
When community members speak about supporting the arts, we respond to their call for
making the possible actual. Valuing artistic diversity within our neighborhoods helps to
unite communities, creating shared experiences and inspiring excellence.
Bank of America is proud to support Americans for the Arts and applauds Arts Education
awardee Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and all National Arts Award honorees for their
leadership in creating a successful forum for artistic expression.
