The Lacey Prize – an award of $90,000 that's divided between three artist-run centres and small arts organizations in Canada every two years – is open for nominations until Aug. 30. The winner receives $50,000 and two runners up each get $20,000. Established by Calgarians John and Naomi Lacey, the prize is intended to recognize the vitality these organizations add to their neighbourhoods. “I know what a strain the last 18 months have been for small galleries and art-loving communities, so I hope this year’s prize will ensure that several galleries not only survive but thrive,” says John Lacey.
