Great Lakes Inaugural Cultural Awards
Project Summary
The Great Lakes Inaugural Cultural Awards was an initiative of the Great Lakes Arts Network (GLAN). GLAN is a Section 355 committee of Great Lakes Council which advises council on cultural matters and serves as the coordinating body for community arts projects.
The Awards focused media and public attention on the many and varied cultural and creative activities which occur throughout the Great Lakes Council region. The Awards themselves were created as unique works of art and will become perpetual.
The program was a collaboration with:
• the School of Arts and Design, Mid North Coast Institute of TAFE which assumed responsibility for designing the award trophies;
• Croker Oars who provided the material from which the award trophies were constructed;
• GLAN which coordinated the whole process, including nominations the judging, the presentation ceremony and awareness raising within the community.
• Barrier Signs who incorporated the names on the trophies
• Community sponsors Dot and Gordon Redman and Forster Tuncurry Coastal Patrol
