The Sobey Art Award is Canada’s premier art award for contemporary young artists. Created in 2002 by the Sobey Art Foundation and with prize money totaling $70,000 ($50,000 to the winner and $5,000 to each of the four finalists), the Sobey Art Award was created as a means to showcase Canada’s emerging artists and the works they produce. The Sobey Art Award is organized and administered by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
