TOWN & COUNTRY ARTS CLUB

encouraging the arts

Each year, the Club appropriates a sum of money to the Prize Award, an honor that the membership bestows upon a group that has shown exceptional work in furthering art in the Chicago area.  For almost 30 years, this award has helped to encourage the study and preservation of important cultural work in our community.
