Award Details
The Canada Council for the Arts celebrates the exceptional careers of Canadian artists with the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts (GGArts). These awards represent the most prestigious distinctions for excellence in visual and media arts in Canada.
Up to eight awards are distributed every year: six awards recognize artistic achievements, one award recognizes excellence in fine craft (Saidye Bronfman Award) and one award recognizes an outstanding contribution to contemporary visual arts, media arts or fine craft. The winners each receive a medallion and a cash prize of $25,000 each.
The GGArts awards are part of the Canada Council’s suite of prizes recognizing excellence in the arts.
