This week it was announced that Robert Houle has received one of the Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts (TFVA) awards. Robert has been awarded the $15,000 Founders Achievement Award.
The TFVA is an “independent, non-profit organization that provides financial assistance to the visual arts, and education programs for its 260 members.” Along with Robert, other Toronto-based artists who received the award were Vanessa Dion Fletcher, Lisa Myers and Anique Jordan, who co-curated Robert in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Every.
