2025 Salt Spring National Art Prize

Salt Spring Island resident Anna Gustafson is the 2025 recipient of the $20,000 Salt Spring National Art Prize for her entry What George Said…, a visually arresting fibre-based installation derived from a 1930s cross-stitch sampler made by the artist’s mother, with a nod to the warnings of Orwell. “The finalists and the winning work capture the diversity, depth, and imagination of artists
working across Canada today,” says SSNAP chair Janet Halliwell. “We’re honoured to bring this national conversation
n contemporary art to Salt Spring Island.” MT
