The 2017 application deadline is Oct. 13, at 4pm (paper application) or Oct. 15 at 11:59 pm (online application).
Any visual artist residing and actively practising in Guelph or Wellington County is encouraged to apply for opportunities that will be pursued after Jan. 1, 2018.

Annually, Guelph Arts Council appoints a volunteer award jury with representatives from the local visual arts community, Guelph Arts Council, the Graham family and The Guelph Community Foundation.
Over the years, award recipients have included an artist blacksmith, print maker, multidisciplinary artist, bead artist, art quilter, filmmaker, photographer, illustrator and painters.
All of these individuals have indicated the award helped them take their artistic work to the next level, officials say.
