Student of Art Endowment

The Student of Art Endowment Fund was established to facilitate, support, and encourage enriched study opportunities for students of Art Studio, Art History and Museum Studies. The fund is intended to assist group study trips to out-of-province centres of learning and art production; to support special lectures, workshops, artist-in-residence programs, or other events or projects intended to better acquaint students with current professional practice in contemporary art: national and international. Proposals involving and benefitting groups will be prioritized, however, individual student travel or enrichment activities may be considered by the Student of Art Endowment Awards Committee.
