Familiar Faces

Richard, Karin, Paul & Anita at one of Richard's favorite  watering holes

Yesterday Karin and I joined Paul Collins to meet with Richard Cloutier and his wife who are visiting Nova Scotia for family celebrations. It is important to me that we maintain the connections and relationships that have formed the organisation over the years and it was grand to see Richard and reminisce about the early years of the Passage Project and catch up on each others news. Thanks to Richard for organising the supper date. We also quizzed his corporate memory but thats a tale for Karen to tell in her blog...

We met with another familiar face from the ANSM/FNSH past recently. Susan Charles is now the Director of the Nova Scotia Centre for Craft & Design (NSCCD) located just across the road from the Cultural Federations offices. Each year the NSCCD sponsors an exhibition of original work for display in the Mary E. Black Gallery complete with curator and catalogue. The proposed concept for next year (2011) is "Inspired", original works inspired by original artifacts from museum collections. An ideal opportunity for collaboration between artisans and museums. Susan wondered if ANSM could help make the connection between the two communities and we are happy participate. Details are not finalised as yet but we will be sure to get notice out when the time is right. Stay tuned.
