A trio of veteran artists, from the fields of English-language theatre, sculpture and Tamil poetry, will receive the Cultural Medallion on Thursday. They will be conferred the nation's highest cultural award by president Tony Tan Keng Yam at a ceremony at the Istana on Thursday evening. The award was instituted 35 years ago by former president Ong Teng Cheong, who was then Minister of Culture, to recognise individuals who have contributed greatly and are committed to the arts here.
