Icon Award Whakamana Hiranga

The Arts Foundation’s highest honour, the Icon Whakamana Hiranga, are bestowed to a living circle of 20 of Aotearoa New Zealand’s most significant artists for their extraordinary lifetime achievements and mark on the arts.

Icon Whakamana Hiranga Recipients

Established in 2003, The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi Icon Awards Whakamana Hiranga are limited to a living circle of 20 artists. Each Icon receives a bronze medallion set with pounamu and a pin designed by sculptor John Edgar.

2022 marked the first year we have awarded Icons since the passing of Sir Eion Edgar, a long time champion of Whakamana Hiranga. Sir Eion and Jan, Lady Edgar are the Founding Patrons of the Icon Awards, following Sir Eion’s retirement as a Trustee of the Foundation in 2010 and their extraordinary $500,000 gift to the Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi.
