Frequently Asked Questions
The monetary award of $5,000 includes the cost of acquisition for the award winning piece. We’ll obtain a copy of the work to hold in our collection, which we can then show on screens in our office to inspire (and let’s be honest, confuse) our employees. You’ll retain full rights to the work, and we don’t put any limitations on its life after the EDAA.
Stills from your artwork may also be used in promotional material for the exhibition, for example, as takeaway prints.
We do! We’ve been collecting art since 1993 with digital pieces added since 2015. From paintings memorializing deceased pets, prints with ironically NSFW content, photographs of people we don’t know but wish we did, and tapestries featuring above-ground pools, our physical collection is eclectic (to say the least).
We’re continuously working to find new worldviews to represent through our collection, while remaining committed to supporting living artists in the broader arts community in Canada. Have more questions about our art collection? Great, because our Curator likes to talk. Send an email to lleblanc@eqbank.ca for more info.
