The National Prize of Art of Chile, was created on November 9, 1942 by Law No. 7,368.
It was first awarded in 1944 and then given annually until 1990. The award alternated the mention among Painting or Sculpture, Music, and Theatre. In 1992 the award was divided into different artistic disciplines. Rather than one National Prize of Chile for art it was split into the National Prize for Plastic Arts, Musical Arts and Performing and Audiovisual Arts.
