About The Anthony Quinn Foundation
Anthony Quinn Foundation, a not-for-profit organization, established the Anthony Quinn Foundation Award in 2015 on the occasion of the 100th birthday of Academy Award-winning actor and life-long artist Anthony Quinn in appreciation of his contributions to the arts as an actor in more than 150 films, and as a talented sculptor and painter whose work continues to inspire audiences in the United States and abroad.
The award is presented to an individual who has made a significant impact in the arts, or their development, furtherance, and support. Laureates are chosen by the Foundation's Board of Directors after an international and consultative selection procedure, and an Anthony Quinn Foundation Scholarship is named in recognition of outstanding artistic contributions.
