Through limited edition portfolio sales in 2015 featuring the work of Angela Grossmann, Attila Richard Lukacs, Derek Root, Graham Gillmore, Gordon Smith and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, the Foundation raised funds to support four unique artist prizes.
In 2016, the Portfolio Prize awarded $21,000 of prize money to four early career artists.
The 2016 winners are:
Colleen Brown - Emerging Artist Award
Derya Akay - Emerging Artist Award
Del Hillier - BFA Prize
Gabi Dao - BFA Distinction
Colleen Brown and Derya Akay, will also be showcased in the new Vancouver Triennale ‘Ambivalent Pleasures: Vancouver Special’ which will be on exhibit from December until April at the Vancouver Art Gallery. The Foundation is pleased this Triennale will recognize Brown and Akay and proudly support their careers as they continue to develop.
The foundation recognizes that artistic practice today is multifarious and early career support and funding is rare. The Foundation continues to assist in early career support, aiming to providing funding again in the coming years.
