Sobey Art Award
Championing visual arts in Canada, the Sobey Art Award is one of the most generous prizes for contemporary artists in the world.
Founded in 2002, the Sobey Art Award is funded by the Sobey Art Foundation (SAF) and organized and presented by the National Gallery of Canada (NGC). The Award propels the careers of artists through financial support and recognition in Canada and beyond.
This year, a total of $400,000 in prize money was awarded: $100,000 to the overall winner, $25,000 to each of the shortlisted artists, and $10,000 to the remaining long-listed artists. In addition, the five shortlisted artists are featured in an exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, on view until March 3, 2024.
Congratulations to each of the five artists shortlisted for this edition of the Award. Year after year, we are amazed at the standards of excellence produced by contemporary artists from across the country.
