Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award Program

Louise HoleThe Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award Program has been established in order to acknowledge the talent, effort, and achievement of individuals within the Albertan arts community. The awards began in 2003 and since then, up to three $30,000 awards are to be presented every second year to hard working and creative individuals who demonstrate excellence in the arts. The arts program was established by the Honourable Lois E. Hole, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.

An outstanding individual, Hole is a wildly successful business woman, best selling author and advocate for the arts and education. Appointed Lieutenant Governor of Alberta by Jean Chretien on December 9, 1999. She has since established several programs to promote literacy, education and the arts. The Lois Hole Library Legacy Program is one example of Hole's dedication to supporting the literary community. Through the Legacy program, individuals may make donations to a library and the donation may be made in the donor's own name or in honour of a friend, family member, or organization.

The Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Award Program provides individuals with endowments that help support their artistic endeavors. A foundation oversees the awards program and any individual artist is eligible to apply. Communities in Alberta may apply in order to host an awards gala celebration of the arts whereby the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Arts Awards may be presented.
