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 nine-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.
