(Fredericton, N.B.)<\/strong> \u2014 The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is thrilled to announce that the esteemed Theodore Prize has been awarded to Megan Samms, an L\u2019nu and Nlaka\u2019pamux multidisciplinary artist. This prestigious award recognizes exceptional achievement in the visual arts and celebrates artists who have made significant contributions to the Canadian art landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samms, who works in diverse mediums including textile, natural dyes and inks, paint, words, motif and mark making, mapping, photography, and performance, explores themes of generative anticoloniality and multiplicity, contrastingly at fragmentation while carefully weaving together place and meaning. Their work results in layered materials, functional objects from the hand, words from the heart, and personal narrative based on living and responding with place-in-the-world and kin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMegan Samms' collaborative and supportive approach, rooted in the notion of place, embodies an important ethos of the Atlantic Region. Whether hosting a residency program on their ancestral lands in rural Ktaqmkuk (the island of Newfoundland) or in their own practice, Samms views art as the focal point for relationships -- with the land, with other artists, and with those who engage with their art. She shows us that art is a living focal point, thriving when culture is fostered and supported. In this way, they also reflect larger trends in the Atlantic and national landscape, where Indigenous ways of knowing and sharing are reframing how we make, how we collect, and how we share.\u201d says Ray Cronin on behalf of the selection committee for the Theodore Prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an artist, I often have my head down and my heart out while I\u2019m working, making artworks, tending to process, or teaching. It\u2019s a big honour to be recognized, seen, and nominated for prizes like the Theodore, but I don\u2019t expect to be. To be nominated is a compliment enough but to receive the news that I was selected for the Theodore prize this year is a huge privilege; I\u2019m very proud to receive this prize and it\u2019s an honest and gratifying responsibility to keep doing and making, one that I take very seriously.\u201d Says Megan Samms, this year\u2019s Theodore Prize winner. \u201cI hold my hands up and say wela\u2019lin aqq k\u02b7uk\u02b7scemx\u02b7 to my nominators, the jury for the Theodore prize, to the Throop Family Foundation, to my collaborators, friends, and family who hold me close and up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Prix Theodore est une initiative financ\u00e9e par la fondation Throop Family Foundation pour c\u00e9l\u00e9brer les r\u00e9alisations professionnelles d\u2019un artiste visuel du Canada atlantique. Nomm\u00e9 d\u2019apr\u00e8s un membre de la famille qui personnifiait la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et la bienveillance, le Prix est issu du d\u00e9sir de redonner \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 des arts visuels au Canada atlantique. Administr\u00e9 par le Mus\u00e9e des beaux-arts Beaverbrook, il s\u2019agit d\u2019un prix de 20 000 $ remis annuellement \u00e0 un artiste du Canada atlantique dont le travail t\u00e9moigne d\u2019une excellence artistique et cr\u00e9ative de haut niveau, d\u2019une ma\u00eetrise du m\u00e9dium utilis\u00e9 par l\u2019artiste, et d\u2019une reconnaissance de la part du milieu des galeries et des expositions du Canada atlantique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
