Congratulations to ACC Member Jane Kidd!

We are very proud to announce that ACC member Jane Kidd will receive the Saidye Bronfman Award for excellence in fine crafts, one of eight Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts 2016! Click here for the full announcement.

Through the act of weaving, Jane Kidd, engages in a sensual process and employs a physical language to establish links with the viewer. Kidd appreciates that she is a participant in the continuum of its makers, the counterpoint it provides to modern life, and the hands-on materiality it embodies. She creates contemporary objects that convey a deep engagement with the natural world and draw our attention to our constantly renegotiated relationship with it.

Jane taught in the Alberta College of Art and Design Fibre Program for more than 30 years and has been an active member of the Alberta Craft Council since 1993. Her work has been featured in multiple ACC exhibitions, publications and acquisition projects. Watch a beautiful video about Jane Kidd and her work here.
