The grand prize-winning artwork will also be added to the President’s Art Bank, part of NSCAD University’s permanent collection. For more information about the nominees, please see the NSCAD website

The Student Art Award provides young artists across nine disciplines at the university with vital visibility as they embark on their careers. The nine nominated works are exhibited over two days at the Anna Leonowens Gallery.
