It's Time For A Fresh Look at the
Beauty & Emotional Spirit of Canada!
Contemporary art plays an important role in telling the Canadian story so for 2012-13, ARABELLA is looking to create an outstanding collection of current works that examine the emotional power of landscape art in shaping Canadian identity with a full sense of past, present and future.
The contest is designed to be a great adventure in chronicling the current state of landscape painting in Canada. Now is the time to re-examine the country with a focus on capturing the full breadth, depth and colour that exists and to be as inclusionary as we can with regard to all communities, peoples and cultures.
