There’s just one week left to apply for the Canadian Art Foundation Editorial Residency, a $7,000 award and mentorship program for Canadian post-secondary students. Applications are due at the Canadian Art Foundation offices on April 6, 2012.

The Canadian Art Foundation Editorial Residency is a national prize awarded annually to a current undergraduate, graduate or other post-secondary student with an interest in developing expertise in the realm of professional art-magazine publishing.

The award involves a 10-week summer residency at Canadian Art magazine and Canadianart.ca. The winning student will hone writing and editing skills and learn production procedures at Canadian Art.

This introduction to art-magazine publishing and writing is intended to foster new editorial and critical talent. The $7,000 prize is selected on the basis of one 500-word review of a contemporary art exhibition, a list of titles of recent academic writing on art, and a one-page CV.

Applications for 2012 are due by 5 p.m. EDT on Friday, April 6, 2012, to:
