The BC Achievement Foundation has launched its 2024 Call for Nominations for the 18th annual Polygon Award in First Nations Art, which will be open until June 30, 2024.
Polygon Award in First Nations Art
The 18th annual Polygon Award in First Nations Art (FNA) program recognizes BC First Nations artists for excellence in traditional, contemporary or media art. The award is designed for artists from BC First Nations who have demonstrated a commitment to their art practice; have accumulated a body of work; and who are recognized in their communities as artists.
Nominations are invited from throughout the province from BC First Nations artists who practice traditional or contemporary visual art in fields such as, but not limited to, carving, photography, beading, weaving, jewellery, painting, masks, sculpture, stonework, printmaking, basketry, textiles, and media art.
Recipients will be announced in October, with an exhibit of their selected works taking place on November 18-24 at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre in Vancouver.
