Honors
Vangjush Mio was honored with the title Painter of the People (Piktor i Popullit).
In 1965 the Albanian documentary Vangjush Mio, piktor i popullit was produced, treating about his life and work.
The cultural center of Korçë was named after him.
Since 2007, always at the end of October the Mio’s Days Festival takes place in Korçë. During four days the city and the surrounding area are open studios and people can admire the paintings by artists from Albania and abroad . On the last day of the festival all the paintings are exhibited in the cultural center.
Since some years the winners of a nationwide competition of Fine Arts are awarded with the Vangjush Mio Price.
