2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts awards.

This year, it is the Distinguished Artist award that is being presented, which recognizes professional artists that either live in Alberta or maintain strong ties to the province and its arts scene, and have reached high levels of achievement.

Nominations are now being accepted until midnight on March 8th, with up to three recipients being selected to earn a hand crafted medal, a $30,000 cash prize, and a two week residency at the Banff Centre’s Leighton Artist Studios.

The winners will be recognized at a September 16th ceremony in Medicine Hat hosted by Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Salma Lakhani.
