About
In its sixth year, the Middlebrook Prize for Young Canadian Curators was set up to challenge and encourage young curators by offering entrants a chance to create an innovative exhibition. A unique prize in the Canadian art world, the Middlebrook Prize celebrates social connectedness and a shared sense of community. The winner is a curator under 30 and receives a space for their exhibition at the Art Gallery of Guelph.
