Ione Thorkelson, who exhibited at the Clay and Glass Gallery in 2004, has just won the Governor General's Award for Visual Arts for 2010. In an email message to the gallery she stated that "This is a very exciting time for me. The CCGG has had a huge effect on my development. An opportunity to stretch all my abilities to fit that grand space sent me off in new directions."
I am the Councillor Liaison on the board of the gallery. We are in the process of developing a sustainability plan for the gallery. One of the challenges is to ensure that the gallery is seen as relevant to the community, both the artistic community and the community at large. Being able to attract Canada's leading artists should surely fall into that category.
