International Sculpture Center - 2025 Outstanding Educator Award

The Outstanding Educator Award is given annually by the International Sculpture Center to honor inspiring, influential artists who have taught sculpture at institutions of higher learning for 15+ years and have sustained exemplary careers as professional artists. Recipients are valued by students and colleagues as mentors for future generations, are recognized nationally and internationally for their significant artistic production, and have made significant contributions to the field.

Nominations for the Outstanding Educator Award are accepted each year, beginning in September. The selection is made in February/March of the award year by a rotating panel of recent recipients and artist-educators who bring broad perspectives to the jurying process. International submissions are welcomed and encouraged.

Nominators can submit only one (1) candidate nomination each year.

Multiple submissions by the same nominator will result in the disqualification of all submissions by the nominator.

Nominees cannot nominate themselves for the Outstanding Educator Award.
