Open Studio National Printmaking Awards
2010 Shortlisted Works

The Open Studio National Printmaking Awards are presented in conjunction with Open Studio's annual fundraising event 100 Prints. A distinguished jury selected the shortlist from prints that have been donated to Open Studio by emerging and established artists from across Canada. All six artists had a chance at winning one of three cash prizes of $3,000 (first prize), $1,500 (second prize) or $500 (third prize) or an honourable mention.

The jury members for 2010, who had the difficult job of choosing the award winners from amongst the prints submitted, were: Matthew Brower, Curator, University of Toronto Art Centre & Lecturer in Museum Studies; Nancy Jacobi, Owner of The Japanese Paper Place; and David H. Kaye, Director, David Kaye Gallery.
