Deadline for receipt of nominations is March 31, 2010. To coincide with our national conference being held in Banff, Alberta, Canadian Artists’ Representation / Le Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC) seeks to honour a professional artist from Alberta, who has made a significant contribution as an advocate for the Canadian visual arts community. This contribution may be national or regional in scope, and is a wonderful opportunity for a local arts advocate to gain national recognition and thanks for their work. This year, the National Visual Arts Advocate Award will be presented during our national conference for visual artists, to be held May 13th to 15th at Banff Centre. The winner will receive a craft-based artwork, made by an Alberta artist. The inaugural award was presented to Kim Ondaatje and Tony Urquhart in 2008, in celebration of CARFAC’s 40th anniversary. The award was presented to two of CARFAC’s founding members, who diligently worked towards the creation of an organization that represents and protects the professional interests of visual artists across Canada. A new era of arts activism was born under their leadership, and through this award, we pay tribute to further achievements made by artists in the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of visual artists, and the overall well-being of the visual arts community. Marlene Creates of Portugal Cove, Newfoundland was our winner in 2009. ELIGIBILITY All professional visual artists who are permanent Canadian residents are eligible*, and any member of the public can nominate an artist for the award. Professional Visual Artists, as defined by the International Association of Art and adopted by CARFAC, must fit at least one of the following criteria. A “professional artist” is one who:
- earns a living through art making;
- possesses a diploma in an area considered to be within the domain of the fine arts;
- teaches art in a school of art or applied art;
- whose work is often seen by the public or is frequently or regularly exhibited;
- is recognized as an artist by consensus of opinion among professional artists.
* Current CARFAC National board members and staff are not eligible for nomination. NOMINATIONS Anyone can nominate a visual artist(s) for this award by completing the nomination form and forwarding it to CARFAC National: [email protected]. Please put “CARFAC National Visual Arts Advocate Award nomination” in the subject heading. All nominations are kept confidential. All nominations must include:
- a 1 page support letter
- the artist’s current CV or biography
- a completed nomination form which is supported by at least two nominators

What is C3?
C3 – Collecting Contemporary Craft is a Craft NI initiative aimed at stimulating the market for collecting contemporary craft and encouraging individuals, businesses and institutions to buy and collect.
Working with a wide range of stakeholders including commercial, gallery and other cultural outlets, Craft NI is currently exploring and testing new markets in order to assist in the expansion of the customer base for high value craft. Through a number of high-profile promotional and showcasing events, C3 – Collecting Contemporary Craft will market local artists to potential collectors. It is hoped that this will be an ongoing programme which, over time, will encourage innovation and excellence in individual practice, grow craft businesses and contribute to the strengthening the overall infrastructure for craft development in Northern Ireland. As part of the promotional support, Craft NI will produce a catalogue which will contain biographical material, critical endorsement and high quality images in relation to each selected artist. An exhibition of the work of selected designer-makers will be included in the initial launch event to be held in the Ulster Museum in late spring 2010. Designer-makers will also be involved in ongoing promotional activity related to the programme.
Craft NI is inviting designer-makers to apply to be part of this programme. The closing date for applications is 4.00pm, Monday 15 March 2010 The initiative is supported by The Ulster Museum and The Merchant Hotel.
