1998 Artist of the Year - Pittsburgh Center for the Arts

In 1998, Tony was named Artist of the Year by the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts - the first filmmaker so honored. The Artist of the Year exhibition was started by the Center in 1949 and the list of honorees includes the most influential Pittsburgh artists of the second half of the 20th Century. In selecting Tony as the 45th Artist of the Year, PCA curator Vicky A. Clark said:

“(when the selection committee) came in and looked at Tony as an artist, he was the unanimous choice.”

In addition to turning over the entire second floor galleries to Tony, the exhibition was accompanied by an interactive CD-ROM catalogue designed by Gradient Labs, featuring film clips; interviews; and an interactive tour of Tony's childhood home.
