Dr. Annie Smith Travel Award

Professor Annie Smith wished to help graduates travel and experience art firsthand. Travel will take place in the year after graduation. Applicants must be graduating students.

Activities might include research, artistic collaboration, an internship, an artist residency, having an exhibition, or visiting an online biennial, film or video festival. If you are doing something to which you must apply and be accepted — such as a residency, internship, or exhibition — you should submit a contingency plan with your application in case your application is not accepted. Your application will be assessed on the connection you make between your plans and the direction of your art practice.

Within two years of the completion of the award, the recipient is required to present an illustrated lunch-hour talk in the Annie Smith Centre on the travel experience and artwork made/viewed.

2 Awards @ $9,005.50 available.
