Sobey Art Award 2004 Touring Exhibition

July 22, 2006 to September 10, 2006

Presented by Scotiabank. Organized and circulated by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.

The Sobey Art Award is Canada's pre-eminent prize for a young Canadian artist. Funded by the Sobey Art Foundation, it is awarded every two years to an artist 39 or younger who has shown their work in a public or commercial art gallery in Canada in the past 18 months. The winner of the award receives $50,000.

A panel of curatorial advisors, consisting of representatives from a major gallery in each of five regions (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and the North, and West Coast), develops the shortlist. Each advisor creates a list of five artists working in the region. The curatorial panel then meets and chooses one representative from each region to be included on the national shortlist. The panel then chooses the winner.
