Best Visual Artist

Gold Winner Beck Gilmer-Osborne

Silver Winner Nick Brunt 

Bronze Winner Mitchell Wiebe

Beck Gilmer-Osborne has been kicking ass left, right and centre. Featured in The Coast’s New Artists issue last January, Gilmer-Osborne won the 2014 Starfish Award just a few months later, and now takes gold as your choice for Halifax’s Best Visual Artist. Gilmer-Osborne’s 2015 plans are no less exciting. “I’m currently a part of the CFAT media arts scholarship program in partnership with the OUTeast Film Festival. I’m working on a short video that explores the intersections of hockey slang and lavender linguistics—gay speak—which will premier in Halifax in February.”
