A Huge Congratulations to Gallery artist, Dawit L. Petros on winning the 15th annual Scotiabank Photography Award, recognizing his exceptional contributions to contemporary art.
As winner of the prestigious Award, Petros will receive a $50,000 cash prize, a solo Primary Exhibition at The Image Centre, and a published book of his work distributed worldwide by renowned art book publisher, Steidl.
The Scotiabank Photography Award recognizes the achievements of established mid-to-late career artists, by engaging Canadians and raising awareness through photographic art of the issues and forces of our time. The Award was co-founded by Scotiabank and Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky with a goal of recognizing and accelerating artists' careers as they reach the next level of national and international recognition.
We look forward to seeing his practice continue to grow and reach new heights and his vision come to life through upcoming exhibition and book.
