FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is now accepting applications for the third annual Theodore Prize
(Fredericton, New Brunswick, September 8, 2025) – The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is excited to announce that in collaboration with the Throop Family Foundation, it is now accepting applications from Atlantic Canadian visual artists for the third annual Theodore Prize.
Stemming from a desire to give back to the Atlantic Canadian visual arts community, the Theodore Prize is named for a special family member who exemplified generosity and good will in the Throop family. Administered by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Theodore Prize is an annual award of $20,000, given to an Atlantic Canadian artist whose work displays a high level of artistic and creative excellence, a command of the artist’s medium, and an acknowledged level of regard from the Atlantic Canadian curatorial/gallery community.
The deadline to apply for this year’s Theodore Prize is November 1, 2025. Atlantic Canadian artists who wish to apply for the Theodore Prize, or those who wish to nominate an artist, can find the full list of eligibility requirements and information on how to apply on our website at: https://beaverbrookartgallery.org/visit/theodore-prize/
The Theodore Prize will be juried by three arts professionals, including one member of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery curatorial staff and one representative each from two other Atlantic Canadian public art galleries or post-secondary art institutions. Members of the jury will be announced with the announcement of the winner of the prize.
The winner of the second annual Theodore Prize will be announced on November 20, 2025.
