On
Wednesday September 16, 2009 ACC Executive Director and Curator,
Tom McFall, was presented with the 2009 Rozsa Award for Excellence
in Arts Management.
“The
Rozsa Award is simply amazing” says Mr. McFall. “Personally, it
provides a huge acknowledgement and validation for much of my career.
For the Alberta Craft Council, its board and staff members, and
its entire membership, the award also confirms the rightness of
their vision and hard work. I expect that, for everyone involved
with the Craft Council, especially as it enters its 30th anniversary
year, this award will offer a surge of new energy. My colleagues
and I intend to capitalize on every opportunity that might come
from the award to expand the activity of the Craft Council, to increase
the profile of the professional craft arts in Alberta, and to support
individual craft artists’ careers.”
