The winner and up to five finalists will have their work featured in a group exhibition alongside the winner and finalists of the RBC Award for Glass at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery from September 2022 to January 2023.
Each of these awards, alongside our exhibitions and programs demonstrate the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery’s commitment to supporting emerging artists at this pivotal point in their career.
