Established in 1999, the RBC® Canadian Painting Competition, with the support of the Canadian Art Foundation, is a tribute to Canada's artistic talent. With semifinalists selected from regions across the country, the artists' entries represent a significant contribution to Canada's cultural vibrancy. The competition encourages and nurtures creative potential and facilitates the entry of professional artists into the visual arts community.
The goal of the competition is to support and nurture Canadian visual artists in their early careers by providing them a forum to display their artistic talent to the country and hopefully open doors to future opportunity. To help up-and-coming artists build their careers, the winner will receive a $25,000 national prize and the two honourable mentions will each be awarded $15,000.
The Canadian Art Foundation and RBC would like to congratulate the winners and semifinalists of the 2011 RBC Canadian Painting Competition. A distinguished jury chose from 15 semifinalist works by talented artists from across Canada, naming Vancouver-based artist Rebecca Brewer the national $25,000 prize winner. Toronto’s Beth Stuart and Vancouver’s Deirdre McAdams received honourable mentions and were awarded $15,000 each.
