We are thrilled to share that Krystle Silverfox was announced as one of the long listed artists for the 2026 Sobey Award, Canada’s most established contemporary visual arts prize. Funded by the Sobey Art Foundation, this award is the richest in the country and one of the most generous in the world.
Krystle Silverfox is a member of Selkirk First Nation (Wolf Clan), and an interdisciplinary visual artist. She currently lives and works on the territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwach’an Council (Whitehorse, Yukon). Her artistic practice explores different materials, methodologies, and symbols to create conceptual works. Krystle Silverfox is inspired by Indigenous feminism, trans-nationalism, decolonialism, activism, futurism and lived experience.
Silverfox has exhibited in group exhibitions across Canada, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Audain Art Gallery, UBC Okanagan Gallery, and The McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Congratulations to Krystle on this excellent achievement!
