Earlier this week, the long list of contenders for the Sobey Art Award with $70,000 in cash prizes were announced. The Sobey Art Foundation's Sobey Art Award is Canada's pre-eminent prize for a young Canadian artist. It is awarded annually to an artist 39 years old or younger who has shown their work in a public or commercial art gallery in Canada in the past 18 months. A panel of curatorial advisors, consisting of a representative from a major gallery in each of five regions (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies and the North, and West Coast), develops the shortlist.
