About the
Penn Creative Spirit Award
The Penn Creative Spirit Award recognizes a member of the Penn community who has illustrated a life-long commitment to the arts through outstanding personal achievements and/or philanthropic support. The award has been created as part of Penn's heightened commitment to promoting its arts and culture offerings, through this year's academic theme "Arts and the City" and the re-conceptualized Homecoming Weekend.
The first recipient of the Penn Creative Spirit Award will be Mr. James A. DePreist, W'58, ASC'61, HON'76.
Join Dr. Gutmann and fellow Quakers for a spectacular evening honoring outstanding alumni leadership and commitment to the spirit of Penn.
*New* this year: The inaugural presentation of the Penn Creative Spirit Award, which will be given to one of America's finest conductors, James DePreist (W'58, ASC'61, HON '76). Contact alumni@ben.dev.upenn.edu or 215-898-7811 for more information.
