Opportunities and Awards
are regularly posted on our Coalition web-site’s
main page. Here’s a few highlights:
Call for Nominations: Inaugural Mallory Gilbert Leadership
Award
The Professional Association of Canadian Theatres (PACT)
is pleased to announce a public call for nominations for
the inaugural Mallory Gilbert Leadership Award. The deadline
for nominations is Friday, March 9, 2007. Please review
the nomination materials available at www.pact.ca and
consider nominating a deserving theatre leader today!
This $2000 Award was initiated in celebration of PACT’s
30th anniversary in 2006-2007 and named after former PACT
President Mallory Gilbert. Supported by the PACT Communications
Centre (PCC), the Mallory Gilbert Leadership Award will
annually celebrate and recognize an individual who has
demonstrated significant and valuable leadership within
the Canadian theatre community. The members of the inaugural
Selection Committee for the Mallory Gilbert Leadership
Award are Mallory Gilbert (Toronto, ON), Jillian Keiley
(St. John’s, NL), and Peter Zednik (North Vancouver,
BC). This national committee will review all nominations,
and the first presentation of the annual Award will be
made at the 2007 PACT Conference in Halifax.
Call for nominations for the Edmund C. Bovey Award
Is there an individual from your business community
that stands out from the rest? Someone you really want
to thank? If so, please help us recognize and celebrate
their contribution. Nominate him or her for the 2007 Edmund
C. Bovey Award!
The Edmund C. Bovey Award was established in 1990 as
a tribute to CBAC’s founding Chairman and honours
a Canadian business person who has made an outstanding
contribution to the arts – in their community, in
many communities or across the country. The award is unique
in several ways. First in its celebration of personal/professional
investment in the arts, something we all want to encourage.
Secondly, the award itself benefits the arts directly.
The winner is celebrated at a special gala dinner and
receives an art work in recognition of their contribution.
The $20,000 cash award, however, they direct to the arts
organization of their choice.
The deadline is February 28, 2007. For more nomination
information please visit www.businessforarts.org
First Thursdays
A large number of Toronto’s commercial art galleries
will be open until 8pm on the first Thursday of every
month. This initiative is inspired by its success for
the past 8 years in Yorkville, as well as the past 6 months
in the Distillery District. Our goal is to work together
and provide more opportunities for the public to engage
in the increasingly popular activity of looking at and
collecting original art.
Please come out and see what we have to offer …
