Award winning art for your offices
The Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts (GGAVMA) is Canada's foremost prize recognizing the lifetime achievement and contribution of the winning artists. Each year, the Art Bank is honoured to host a reception for the laureates and their families and friends. In celebration of the event, the Art Bank staff exhibit works by the winning artists from the collection. Not surprisingly, almost all of the winning artists since the inception of the awards have works in the Art Bank collection, and so, these works are available for lease to Art Bank clients!
