The Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts distinguishes persons and entities that have stood out in the field of artistic and cultural creation or have provided remarkable services in the promotion, development or dissemination of art and culture or in the conservation of artistic heritage.
Until 1995, the Ministry awarded annual Medals of Merit in Fine Arts, in its gold and silver modalities, to those persons or institutions that stand out in the dramatic, musical, choreographic, interpretation fields, etc. The Silver Medals were no longer awarded in 1995, and from 1996 only Gold Medals were awarded.
