The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (formerly The Elizabeth T. Greenshields Memorial Foundation) is a private Canadian charity[1] that provides grants to young artists working in representational painting, sculpture, drawing and/or printmaking. Recipients must be studying or in the early stage of their career.[2]
It was established in 1955 by the Montreal lawyer Charles Glass Greenshields, Q.C. (1883-1974),[3] in memory of his mother, Elizabeth T. Glass, to help young artists train in traditional artistic methods.[4][5] It was endowed by Mr. Greenshields and does not solicit or receive external funding.[1] By the terms of its endowment, it is precluded from funding the pursuit of abstract or non-objective art.[6][7]
It received the Excellence in Fine Art Education Award from the Portrait Society of America[8] in 2016 and the Gari Melchers Memorial Medal[9] from the Artists’ Fellowship[10] in 2021.
In 2023, The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation awarded close to C$1.5M in grants to 82 artists and art students.[1] Since its inception, it has granted some C$30M to over 2000 students and artists in more than 80 countries.[2]
