The Visual and Media Arts awards honour lifetime achievements in the fine arts, such as ceramics, sculpture, multimedia and audio-visual, painting, and photography. All forms of artistic expression were included this year.
Canada Council for the Arts
The Canada Council for the Arts was established in 1957 and its mandate has remained relatively stable—to support the creation of new art in Canada by Canadians, and to help get an audience to that art.
“I think this government understands the essential role of the arts and we look forward to continued conversations with these MPs and this government.”
