"Downstairs at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, what you see in the Sobey Art Award exhibition is the work of five young artists from across the country.The five regional finalists in this year's running\u2014the first year of the annual iteration of the award\u2014are as follows: Moncton-based Jean-Denis Boudreau (Atlantic), Michel de Broin (Quebec), Shary Boyle (Ontario), Rachelle Viader Knowles (Prairies and the North) and Ron Terada (West Coast).What you see behind the work of these five\u2014or what you sense is present in the room\u2014is the work of five Canadian curators who, as jurors, ultimately decide the winner, which will be announced at an invite-only reception on October 15.\"The heart of the Sobey is that it is a process driven by curators and constantly focused on the art made by artists. Five curators, from across the country, pick five artists, again from across the country, based on their work, their careers to date and the curators' sense of their potential for the future,\" writes Sobey Art Award and AGNS senior curator Ray Cronin on a panel introducing the work.Robin Metcalfe, director/curator of Saint Mary's University Art Gallery, says he didn't know Boudreau's work until Atelier Imago, a printmaking studio in Moncton, nominated the 32-year-old artist for the Sobey."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
