Muriel Sherrin Award is a $10,000 cash prize with finalists receiving $1,000 each, that celebrates an artist or creator who has made a contribution to the cultural life of Toronto through outstanding achievement in music or dance. The recipient will also have participated in international initiatives, including touring, studying abroad and participating in artist exchanges. In addition to the prize money, the 2021 recipient will receive a complimentary week long stay at Valleyview Artist Retreat. The award rotates from music to dance in alternating prize years. The Muriel Sherrin Award is part of our Signature Awards, presented every two years at the Mayor’s Arts Lunch.
