From 1968 to 1972, the SOQUIL visual arts awards were issued by AICA by a regular jury made up of José Augusto França, Rui Mário Gonçalves and Fernando Pernes, who awarded the best exhibitions hosted in Lisbon only.

Having had a hiatus of eight years, the award was resumed in 1981 by the then called Visual Arts Division of the Directorate for Cultural Action / SEC (Department for Culture), and it then started considering the entire country. Since then, AICA’s Portuguese Section annually chooses a visual artist and an architect who it deems worthy of a national award, which is funded by the Ministry of Culture.

The AICA/MC (Ministry of Culture) Awards for Visual Arts and Architecture are issued to two people in those respective areas whose career trajectory is considered relevant by the critics, and whose work was particularly in focus on the year the award is being issued.
