Canada Unlimited - growth of an idea... WILL GRANT AWARDS TO CANADIAN ARTISTS OF PROMISE S ce 1943 Canada Unlimited has been the theme of O’Keefe’s advertising. Each year, one phase of the development of our nation has been traced in a series of paintings. Some of these paintings have won inter- national awards as examples of fine art in advertising. They have brought credit and recognition to the many Canadian artists who were commissioned to paint them. Last year a further step was taken to awaken in the minds of Canadians the greatness of this country of ours. The O’Keefe Foundation published a book which dra- matically told the history of our country. Thousands of copies of ‘‘Canada Unlimited’’ have gone to Canadians and to other people in all parts of the world. In 1950 O’Keefe’s will provide an opportunity for the further development of the cultural life of our nation. It has been widely recognized that there are many hundreds of Canadian artists whose ability deserves support and encouragement. To assist these young Canadians, O’Keefe’s have estab-ished eighteen awards ranging in value from $200. to $1000. which will enable student artists of promise to further their training. These awards will be granted to students between the ages of 18 and 30 who show they will benefit most from further study. Complete details together with application forms may be obtained by writing to The Director, O’Keefe’s Art Awards, 47 Fraser Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, to whom completed application forms must be sent not later than April 15th, 1950. is 3 ~~ BREWING COMPANY euie LIMITED Eomichooks: co
