The
Salt Spring National Art Prize
To recognize,
showcase and publicize the accomplishments of Canadian visual art, Salt Spring
Island is establishing one of the few national, juried competitions in the
country.
Located
between Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, Salt Spring Island is the most
populous of British Columbia’s Gulf Islands. Set in the stunning Salish Sea
ecosphere and internationally renowned for its strong arts and crafts movement
and creative enterprise, the island has established an enviable reputation as
one of North America’s most highly regarded small arts communities.
The intent of
the Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) is to encourage artists whose
practice demonstrates originality, quality, integrity and creativity, resulting
in significant work with a real visual impact and depth of meaning. This
exciting endeavour is an initiative of the Salt Spring Arts Council (SSAC),
which represents the arts for Salt Spring Island. The Finalist exhibition
will be held on the island from September through October 2015.
