Welcome to RBC Painting Competition winners 2007.

Art is subjective. Supporting the arts is not.


At RBC, we believe that the vitality of the arts in our communities enriches us all. Now in its ninth year, the RBC Canadian Painting Competition is our opportunity to support emerging artists right when they have found their voices and are now poised to seek out a wider audience. We congratulate the 15 semi-finalists in the 2007 RBC Canadian Painting Competition. This is your opportunity to see the work and to learn more about the artists who most impressed our judges this year.

For a better look at this year’s work click on the paintings below:
