The objective of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation is to promote, by its charitable activities, an appreciation of traditional expression in painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking by aiding worthy art students, artists or sculptors who need further training or other assistance during their formative years. Awards are limited to candidates in the early stages of their careers and who are working in a representational style in painting, drawing, sculpture and printmaking. The terms of the Foundation's Charter preclude consideration of non-objective art.
The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation was created in 1955 by Charles Glass Greenshields, Q.C., a distinguished Montreal lawyer and amateur artist, in memory of his mother, Elizabeth.
First grants are in the amount of $15,000 each, and second and third grants are in the amount of $18,000 each. The Foundation reserves the right to award grants in other amounts.
To be eligible for a grant, candidates must: have already started or completed training in an established school of art, and/or demonstrate, through past work and future plans, a commitment to making art a lifetime career.
The Foundation will not accept applications from commercial artists, photographers, video; artists, filmmakers, craft-makers or any artist whose work falls primarily into these categories.
