The Spanish Academy of Performing Arts awarded its highest distinctions to entities and professionals on Monday, November 21, 2022 during the gala dinner held for that purpose at the Wellington Hotel in Madrid. The dinner was chaired by Cayetana Guillén-Cuervo, President of the Spanish Academy of Performing Arts since January 2022. 

Every year the Academy awards the Gold Medal to institutions and professionals who, through their work and career, have played an essential role in the dissemination and practice of the performing arts in Spain. 

The Honorary Academic distinctions have been granted, since 2014, to professionals of playwrighting, musical theatre, stage music, dance or circus who, throughout their careers, have stood out for their dedication and excellence in their respective projects, always contributing to dignify the performing arts inside and outside of Spain.
