Queen's Platinum Jubilee Scholarship for Visual Arts

One scholarship of $7,000 will be awarded annually by the Government of Alberta to a young Albertan visual artist who shows extraordinary talent and potential and who demonstrates clear educational or training goals. The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Scholarship for the Visual Arts was established by the Government of Alberta in 2002, and updated in 2022, to commemorate the accession of Queen Elizabeth II to the throne and her service to the Commonwealth. The scholarship supports young artists enrolled in eligible visual arts training programs including undergraduate studies with a minor or major in visual arts, or recognized programs such as mentorships, workshops, master classes, or courses with a focus on visual arts. Graduate programs are not eligible for consideration. The scholarship aims to support the artistic development of promising visual artists in Alberta who are 25 years or younger.
