Tracey Lawko from Glen Huron has been announced as the 30th recipient of the Robert G. Kemp Arts Award.
The $5000 cash prize was created in 1989 from a trust fund administered by the The Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts ] with the intent to provide encouragement and recognition to the artistic development of an individual or group residing in the Southern Georgian Bay area.
Lawko’s work, ”Reflections of Ourselves”, is a textile based collaborative art project that explores the question, “Who are we?”
Tracey has chosen a tree as a non political symbol of our human community where differences in human cultures are like leaves on the human tree.
