2023 NSCAD Student Art Award

Friday, May 12 20237 - 9pm

Port Loggia Gallery, 1107 Marginal Rd.

NSCAD University is proud to present the NSCAD Student Art Award. This celebration of achievement rewards talented NSCAD students with one $5,000 purchase grand prize, and nine $1,000 best-in-category prizes. The grand prize winning artwork will also be added to the President’s Art Bank, part of NSCAD University’s permanent collection. This premier award provides young artists with vital visibility as they embark on their careers.

Previously known as the “Starfish Student Art Award”, this award was established by property developer and art collector Louis Reznick and NSCAD University to recognize and promote exceptional students. The award celebrates top talent across ten disciplines at the university.

The ten nominated works are exhibited at a special one-night gala event, where an external jury will vote on the winning work. Join us this year for an exhibition and reception with live music, a walking jewellery show and art sale, food, and a cash bar.
