Artist/photographer and graphic designer, Angela Grauerholz has been exhibited and collected widely in Canada, the US, and Europe. She has participated in many international events of distinction including the Sydney Biennale (1990), documenta IX (1992), the Carnegie International (1995) and the Montréal Biennale (2004). She was awarded several prestigious prizes for her accomplishments in the arts, such as Québec’s Prix Paul-Émile Borduas (2006), the Canada Council’s Governor General Award in Visual and Media Arts (2014), and in 2015 the distinguished Scotiabank Photography Award (Toronto).

Solo exhibitions of her work have been mounted by the Westfälischer Kunstverein, Münster (1991), the MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA (1993), the Domaine de Kerguéhennec, Brittany (1993-95), the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, the Power Plant, Toronto, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College, Chicago (1999), the Blaffer Art Museum, University of Houston (2004), VOX, Contemporary Image Centre, Montreal (2006), The Ottawa Art Gallery (2007), and the Vancouver Public Library (2008). A survey exhibition organized by the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (1995), travelled to several institutions in Canada, Germany and France (1995–96), and in 2010 the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, mounted a retrospective exhibition of her work, consequently shown at the University of Toronto Art Center in 2011. In conjunction with the Scotiabank Photography Award, the Ryerson Image Centre in Toronto mounted another important survey exhibition (2016).

As Full Professor at the École de design at the Université du Québec in Montréal, she taught typography and photography from 1988 to 2017, where she also directed the Centre de design (2008- 2012). In 2019, the Emily Carr University of Art + Design awarded her an Honourable Doctorate of Letters.
