Arts & Culture Awards

Arts & Culture Awards

The Arts and Culture Awards, created by the Charlottetown Arts Advisory Board, are held in Charlottetown bi-annually and were designed to honour those who make a substantial contribution to the arts and cultural sector in Charlottetown. Awards are presented in the following categories: Emerging Artist Award; Artistic Excellence Award; Lifetime Achievement Award; Champion of the Arts.

The nominations process has now closed, and the winners will be announced on Monday, October 25 at an invite-only event in Charlottetown. 
 
The selection of winners will be determined by an independent panel made up of past winners of the Arts and Culture Awards. The panel is chaired by one (non-voting) member of the Arts Advisory Board. Each award winner will receive a one-of-a-kind award created by a local artist. Award recipients in each category, aside from the Champion of the Arts Award, will also receive a cash prize.
 
The Charlottetown Arts Advisory Board oversees the administration of the awards. The board members are: Barbara MacLeod, Chair; Cheryl Wagner; Mark Sandiford; Brandon Hood; Stephen MacInnis; Nadine Haddad; and Carol Horne.
