A Port Moody artist is one of 52 Canadians named as a finalist in a national competition.
Dylan Moffat's work Architectural Apocalypse was shortlisted this week out of 1,367 submissions for the inaugural Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP), which has a $25,000 purse.
The best in show winner will receive $10,000 plus a residency worth $5,000 on Salt Spring Island; three winners will get $1,000 from each juror while people's choice cash prizes will also be handed out.
The finalists' exhibition will be held Sept. 25 while the prizes will be awarded on Oct. 24 by the jury, made up of St. John's, NL, curator Vicky Chainey and artists Holger Kalberg of Winnipeg and Salt Spring Island native Ian Thomas.
