TUC Artist of the Year

TUC’s Artist of the Year Trout Unlimited Canada has been selecting an Artist of the Year since 1992. The program was created to draw attention to Canada’s coldwater resources by having an artist capture its beauty, fragility and importance. It is an annual event that accepts submissions from across Canada. The piece selected is auctioned off at the annual National Conservation Dinner in Calgary with limited-edition prints of the piece being sold at TUC fundraisers across Canada. ARTIST OF THE YEAR
