The prestigious Paul Hanna Award for studio artists and
The TASA Lecture in Excellence in the Field Award are open to art historians, artists, designers, art theoreticians, critics, and philosophers

The Paul Hanna Lecture Award began in 1994 as the result of a generous endowment set up to honor one of TASA's founding members, Professor Paul Hanna (now deceased) of Texas Tech University. The Paul Hanna Award exists to provide a forum through which a selected studio artist can make an annual presentation for TASA.
We are also inviting proposals for the TASA Excellence in the Field Award from art historians, artists, educators, designers, art theoreticians, critics, and philosophers broadly focusing on any of their scholarship interests that might appeal to TASA members.
The honorarium for each winning lecture is $500.00.

We will also require a pre-recorded video lecture by October 7th from our winners to display on our website after the live conference as a resource for educators. Upon selection, we will relay more information regarding the final format requested to our winners.
