Celebrating visual art of the human form
Figureworks is a juried art prize and celebration of the art of the human form.
We are a Canadian, volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to cultivate and exhibit art of the human form, to bring together a community of artists, and to celebrate their art through the Figureworks prize.
