The Artist Studio Award Program is a critical part of the City of Vancouver’s efforts to provide studio spaces to support artists and their work since 1995.
The program is offered once every three years through an open call to emerging professional artists living in the City of Vancouver.
This year the program has expanded to include community members of the Musqueam, Squamish, or Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.
