The Awards & Scholarships is an OCC flagship program
that celebrates excellence in making, allows for peer recognition, and
provides opportunity for promotion.

Its days of accompanying the Annual General Meeting are
gone – instead, the 2012 Award & Scholarships recipients will be
honoured with a special event. As such, we are very excited to introduce
you to the inaugural Craft Awards Ceremony – a night
dedicated to makers and objects, and to celebrating the very best of
contemporary craft. As part of the evening we will be announcing the
award recipients of the prestigious John Mather Award for Lifetime Achievement, as well as the Volunteer Committee Outstanding Service Award.

In order to build anticipation and excitement, we will be
withholding the announcement of which award each recipient has won
until the Ceremony on Thursday, October 4, 2012. We invite you to join
us in celebrating the award winners with friends, family, patrons,
donors, collectors, and the OCC board, staff and volunteers.
