Audain Prize for the Visual Arts

The Audain Prize for the Visual Arts (the Audain Prize) is an annual award that recognizes a distinguished Canadian artist. Worth $100,000, it is one of Canada's most significant honours for the arts. The prize is supported by the Audain Foundation and presented by the Audain Art Museum.

History

The Audain Prize was established in 2004 by Michael Audain, Chair of the Audain Foundation.[1] In 2019, the prize amount was increased to $100,000[2], bringing it in line with the Giller Prize and the Sobey Art Award, and renamed (previously the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts). From 2004 to 2018, the Audain Prize was funded by the Audain Foundation and administered by the Vancouver Art Gallery, in conjunction with the VIVA Awards. Since 2019, the Audain Prize continues to be supported by the Audain Foundation but is now administered by the Audain Art Museum.

Selection

An independent jury, comprising members of the visual arts community, brings forth nominations, discusses, and then selects a recipient. Included are the director or chief curators of the following institutions: Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Audain Art Museum, Morris & Helen Belkin Gallery, Vancouver Art Gallery, and one past prize recipient.[3]

One recipient is selected annually, although in 2013, the jury made an exception and selected two recipients - Gathie Falk and Takao Tanabe.[4]
