Canada Council for the Arts Print

J.B.C. Watkins Award

A bequest from the estate of the late John B.C. Watkins, this award provides fellowships of $5,000 to professional Canadian artists in music, visual arts (architecture only) and theatre who are pursuing graduate studies, and who are graduates of a Canadian university, postsecondary art institution or training school. Preference is given to those who wish to carry out their postgraduate study in any country other than Canada. Postgraduate schools include postsecondary institutions or training schools, whether or not these are degree-granting institutions.
