InterAccess Media Arts Prize Nominations

InterAccess Media Arts Prize Nominations - 2025
InterAccess’s Media Arts Prize is offered annually to a recent graduate from a new media arts program in the Greater Toronto Area.

The award consists of a professional solo exhibition at InterAccess's gallery as well as a one-year membership to our production studio which includes 24/7 access to equipment for 3D printing, laser-cutting, electronics, and woodworking.

InterAccess is seeking recent graduates who are producing work that aligns with InterAccess's mandate and who would benefit from continued studio access and a solo exhibition opportunity. Applicants must have graduated within the past 2 years from an undergraduate, graduate, or certificate new media program in the GTA and are required to have a nominator (a faculty member, instructor, professional artist, curator or arts worker) to support their application.

Nominations will be adjudicated by InterAccess' Programming Committee, which is composed of professional artists, curators, and academics. The committee will select one artist to receive a solo exhibition, and finalists to receive a complimentary annual studio membership and opportunity for an artist talk hosted at InterAccess.

For insight into the application process, please join us for an information session on April 11 at 4PM, hosted online; registration required here.

Please reach out to InterAccess’s Programming Manager, Evangeline Brooks, at art@interaccess.org with any questions or concerns regarding the prize or nomination process.

Nominations will close on Friday, May 23rd, 2025. The Programming Committee will select the prize winner within the following weeks.
