The Canada Council for the Arts is the main government funding agency for the arts in the country. ‘Grants’ are considered awards and are determined through changing juries of peers. As well as receiving 7 Canada Council grants in 20 years, I have participated in two juries for individual and exhibition proposals for architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.
