Lifetime Achievement Award

The Exemplary

The Exemplary showcases excellence in needlework and the intermediate steps in its accomplishment. It is an opportunity for everyone to show achievement, to teach and to learn by example, to share and to find camaraderie as each strives for personal growth. It has two parts: a judged competition of needle art and a display of relevant embroidery subjects. The Exemplary is also the place where those enrolled in our Teachers', Judges', Exhibit Administrator's Associate, Honors, Master Judge, and Teacher cum Laude programs exhibit their wonderful artistic work.

The Exemplary is supported in part by the NAN Angel Fund.

The Academy strives to show embroidery at its finest--the excellent execution of a well conceived idea, fully developed. The Exemplary is proud to exhibit creative needlework from embroiderers of all levels of expertise from beginners to the highly experienced.
