This year’s EVA Awards jury reviewed submissions from across the province, representing a wide spectrum of artistic mediums and styles, from painting to installation, conceptual art, fine craft, and printmaking. The jury decided to release a shortlist only for the Emerging Artist Award this year.
The Emerging Artist Award honours the promising start made by an emerging visual artist in the early stages of their career. Sponsored in 2011 by Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. Prize: $1000
ST. JOHN’S NL: The sixth annual Excellence in Visual Arts Awards will take place on May 27th at the Rooms, St. John’s, Newfoundland. The EVA Awards are the only awards program celebrating the visual culture of Newfoundland and Labrador. Says Patron of the Awards, Mary Pratt, “How valued is a prize given to a visual artist? Working for years in the proverbial garret – to be finally noticed? It is as much a blessing as a prize!”
