YVR Art Foundation offers Emerging Artist Scholarships of $5000 each to British Columbia and Yukon Indigenous artists who are between the ages of 17 and 29 years (born between 1994 – 2006) and who presently reside in BC or the Yukon.
Scholarships are awarded on an annual basis to Emerging Artists who create visual art that reflects BC or Yukon First Nations culture and who wish to further their artistic career by expanding their work or practice into a new area, by study or work with a Mentor artist or attend a school of art. Visual Art can include (but is not limited to) drawing, painting, digital art + design, illustration, carving, sculpture, printmaking, textiles, animation, photography, video and film.
Up to seven Emerging Artist Scholarship recipients will be selected per scholarship year by a Jury composed of senior Indigenous artists and/or curators. All applicants will receive notification of the Emerging Artist Scholarship results by April 2023. Scholarship recipients will then be awarded and invited to attend a Scholarship Awards Reception in Vancouver in May 2023.
Scholarship recipients will be invited back to Vancouver in 2024 to display their finished artwork at the awards reception, followed by an exhibition of their work at YVR. (Travel and accommodation will be provided as part of the scholarship).
