Post Content: The Gallery is excited to announce the 13th annual SAAG Arts Writing Prize. This prize aims to recognize and support emerging writers whose writing relates to the field of art. Art writing is essential to supporting a healthy art ecosystem, providing access points for contemporary art practice, engaging different voices in the field, and encouraging and developing discourse in the visual arts.
Writers will be considered for one or both of this year’s categories: Arts Writing and the Aruna D’Souza Award for BIPOC Writers. Award winners will receive a $1000 prize, a $500 paid public program opportunity with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, and may also opt into an art writing mentorship. Runners up will receive a $250 prize. All entries are eligible to be published in the 2024 SAAG Arts Writing Prize Reader, made in-house at the Gallery’s Tiny Press. All submitters will be provided with a complimentary copy of the reader.
Please review the full call for submission before submitting your work. If you have any question, please contact Program & Event Coordinator Heather Kehoe hkehoe@saag.ca
