The Joe Plaskett Foundation was established in 2004 by the artist Joseph Plaskett (1918 – 2014) to facilitate the selection of a recipient for the Plaskett Award. Starting in 2023, the Plaskett Award will be a biennial award of $65,000\. The proceeds are to be used to help fund an emerging Canadian painter to live, create artwork and/or travel for one year.

The candidate chosen for the Plaskett Award will be an outstanding emerging Canadian artist in the field of painting.
