The awards were created in 1999 by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Governor General of Canada. Since then, the awards have celebrated Canada’s vibrant arts community and recognized remarkable careers in the visual and media arts. The Canada Council for the Arts celebrates the exceptional careers of Canadian artists in Canada with the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts (GGArts). These awards represent the most prestigious distinctions for excellence in visual and media arts in Canada. Up to eight awards are distributed every year: six awards recognize artistic achievements, one award recognizes excellence in fine craft (Saidye Bronfman Award) and one award recognizes an outstanding contribution to contemporary visual arts, media arts or fine craft. The winners each receive a medallion and a cash prize of $25,000 each. The GGArts awards are part of the Canada Council’s suite of prizes recognizing excellence in the arts.
