MIDDLEBROOK PRIZE for YOUNG CANADIAN CURATORS

Founded in 2012, the Middlebrook Prize is awarded annually to an emerging Canadian curator who is under 30 with the aim to foster social innovation and curatorial excellence in Canada. Hosted and administered by the Art Gallery of Guelph, the winner is selected by a jury of arts leaders and receives an honorarium, an exhibition at Art Gallery of Guelph, and mentorship from the curatorial team at AGG and jury members.

Each year, Middlebrook Prize winners are chosen by a new Jury comprising leaders in the visual arts world from across Canada and internationally. More information on past Juries:

The 2023 winner will be announced in on April 12, 2023 and their exhibition will be presented from September 14 to December 17, 2023 at the Art Gallery of Guelph. Proposals should emphasize contemporary Canadian art with attention to audience, community and public.
