The Weston Fine Arts Awards

William '43 and Alethe D. '41 Weston
on the occasion of their wedding day

The Weston Fine Arts Awards were endowed via a bequest by William G. '43 and Alethe D. '41 Weston who were involved in the performing and visual arts at Brown and as adjuncts to their careers after college.

It was the wish of the donors to create within Brown the opportunity for the University to recognize and foster outstanding performances and meritorious achievements in the Fine Arts by Brown students and to help in the further development of their talent and abilities.

The prizes are to be awarded each year in various performing and visual arts to include theatre, music, writing, dance, art, film and television. The existence of the awards is to be publicized in the Fall semester each year and the winners selected and then feted at an annual dinner in the Spring semester. The Weston awards categories are determined each year by the Governing Committee of Department Chairs and the Weston Awards recipients are selected individually by the various departments.
