Price, Art, 1918-2008 : Art Price was born in Edmonton, Alberta, and raised on a farm near Waterford, Ontario, where his father worked as a builder and carpenter. He studied commercial art at the Western Technical School in Toronto in 1934, and then at the Ontario College of Art under Frank Carmichael, Eric Aldwinckle, George Pepper and Fred Haines. He became involved in theatre, spending a summer working with the John Holden Players, and studied ballet with Boris Volkoff, designing many stage sets for the Volkoff Canadian Ballet. In 1939, he went to New York and studied at the McDowell Fashion School.

On returning to Canada, Art Price joined the Canadian Army in 1940. During World War II, he designed sets for the Canadian Army Show and worked at the National Film Board as a set designer. He married Dalila Barbeau, daughter of the Canadian ethnologist and folklorist Marius Barbeau, and began collaborating on various projects with his father-in-law. In 1947, under Barbeau's direction, he went to British Columbia to survey Pacific Coast Indian art for the National Museum of Canada. During the 1950s, he illustrated a number of Barbeau's books.

Art Price settled in Ottawa after his marriage and worked as a free-lance designer for the National Film Board until 1956. He also worked as a designer and stage manager for the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. He became known for his knowledge of native art in Canada and was commissioned to produce reproductions of totem poles and other decorations for Jasper Park Lodge and the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.

After being commissioned in 1958 to cast and install Ottawa's coat-of-arms in its new City Hall, Art Price developed an interest in metal casting. During the 1960s and 1970s, he produced a number of large sculptures for corporate and government clients, including "Family Group" for Prudential Assurance, Montreal; "Man Above Matter" for the Canadian National Exhibition; "Birds of Welcome" for Gander International Airport; "The Universe Is You" for the National Research Council; "Communigraph '70" for the federal Department of Public Works; and "Sails Aflame" for the Harbour Castle Hotel, Toronto. During the 1970s and 1980s he did consulting and restoration work for the National Capital Commission in Ottawa, and in the 1980s was a consultant for the new Canadian Museum of Civilization.

Art Price is a member of the Sculptors' Society of Canada, Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and the American Craftsmen's Council. He won the Grand Prize in Montreal's National Fountain and Monument Competition in 1964 and was awarded a Citation for Excellence in Fine Art in Steel by the American Iron and Steel Institute in 1971.

Art Price died in Ottawa in December 2008.
