Congratulations to all of the recipients of the 2021 RBC Space Award! 

The RBC Space Award is a partnership between Neighbourhood Arts Network, an initiative of the Toronto Arts Foundation, and Akin Projects. This award provides access to space for professional newcomer artists and past RBC Newcomer Artist Award recipients to grow their practice. By receiving this award, these artists will receive financial support, studio space, and networking opportunities through access to Akin Projects spaces.

The 2021 recipients include current Akin artist Sarvenaz Rayati, as well as the talented Azadeh Pirazimian, Nami Ueno, Rimah Jabr, Shabnam Afrand, and Yannis Lobaina!

For more information on the recipients please visit this link. 

Big thank you's as well to our wonderful partners: RBC for sponsoring this important award, and to Toronto Arts Foundation and Neighbourhood Arts for creating a partnership which connects and supports artists in the city.
