Canada Council for the Arts - Professional Development Grant

Thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts for the Professional Development Grant, which has afforded me the opportunity to take various printing workshops at Open Studio this spring and into the summer. Below is their blurb that acknowledges their fundamental support to the arts. I can't help but notice the last time I posted a thank you that their funding was 157 and not 153 million. Let's hope that their new funding strategy and the current government rectify this (which I think is in the works).

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, which last year invested $153 million to bring the arts to Canadians throughout the country.

Newton Awards

The Newton Awards. Each season the Shaw Festival Theatre offers financial awards to company members who wish to undertake "professional development" as defined by the applicant. The proposed project should be career-related (either a current career or the next career). The selection committee consists of two representatives from the Communications Committee, plus representatives of Production, Finance and Infrastructure, Development and Creative Management.
