Last
night (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.”
