Promotional and Financial Benefits
There are many promotional benefits in addition to receiving an OCC award, scholarship or supply grant. An annual exhibition of award winners' work is presented throughout the summer in The Craft Gallery at 170 Bedford Rd., Suite 300, Toronto. Images of work are posted on www.craft.on.ca (example: www.craft.on.ca/info/member_prog_awards_03win.html), published in Ontario Craft The Newsletter and Ontario Craft magazine, and announced through our monthly E-Newsletter. Awards are presented at our AGM in June.
