THE PORTFOLIO EDITIONS
Conceived by artists for artists, The Portfolio Prize aims to encourage the development of young artists through early career support. For artist founders Douglas Coupland, Graham Gillmore, Angela Grossmann, Attila Richard Lukacs, and Derek Root supporting the future generations of artists and their practices is essential to the continued growth of the region's arts community at large.
The 2021 limited edition “Artist for Artist” portfolio consists of seven limited edition prints by Graham Gilmore, Angela Grossmann, Attila Richard Lukacs, Derek Root, Vikky Alexander, Rebecca Belmore and Dana Claxton and raised funds to award $30,000 to emerging/early career artists in the fall of 2022.
