AFAfunds with $5 million, and then add another $13 million, to give the AFA new life. various forms of arts support. The Alberta Foundation for the Arts funds about 1200 arts projects each year, with grants as large as several hundred thousand dollars to symphonies and operas, and grants as small as a few hundred dollars to individual amateur artists. If you have been to a concert, a gallery,a festival,a travellingexhibition,a summer school, a dance competition - you name it - you have likely benefited from AFA assistance. Generally, AFA funding amounts to about 10% Ofthe arts economy of Alberta. If you use Alberta Craft Council programs, visit our new gallery, see one of our travelling exhibitions,or even read this magazine, you also benefit from AFAfunding. And if you are a professionalcraft artist, the AFAmay have purchased a piece Ofyour work, either directly from you, or through the ACC. The Alberta Foundation for the Arts has not received an increase in its own funding since the 1980s.This poses major problems for the arts in Alberta - now and into the future. For instance, in just the last two years, applications for AFA funding have increased by 300/0!
The Alberta Craft Council has teamed up with a variety of other groups - Writers Guild of Alberta,Arts TouringAlliance,Canadian Music Centre, Esther Honens International Piano Competition, Rosebud Theatre, Calgary ProfessionalArts Alliance and Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton - to advocate for increased provincial government funding to the AFA.Our first big pitch was to the Standing Policy Committee on Health and Safe Communities, a group of cabinet ministers and Tory MLAs who have the power to recommend new money for the AFA.

Over the next few months, a much larger and more diverse group of arts organizations will be coordinating a province-wideArts
Vote campaign. The point is to make all candidates running in the spring election - particularly those likely to win seats - aware of the value of arts funding, and to encourage them to up-date the AFA's resources. In the next few months, you will be asked to participate in the Arts Vote. We will keep you up to date on which candidates and par-
ties support arts funding. Wewill also ask you to write or call your MLA or your favourite candidate to show your support for arts funding. You will be surprised at the "receptiveness" of politicians, particularly at election time. And you will be amazed at the impact of just one phone call, made by every member of the Alberta Craft Council, and by every member of hundreds of other arts organizations. We can make them listen!

the busiest yet I have been told. Although at the time of writing this I do not have official numbers, I estimate the Shop brought in over $55,000.00 during November and December We had more seasonal consignors as well as more people interested in becoming a consignor than ever before.
I am amazed at how quickly the year 2000has come and gone! So much has happened in such a short time. Last March was a bustling time for the Alberta Craft Council. We had Sue Warden here filming some of our members for her show, Craftscapes, that aired throughoutthe Fall. Wealso held our 20th Anniversary party / fundraiser at the Timm's Centre. We reluctantly bid a fond farewellto Mary-Ellen and I received an incredibly warm welcome to the ACC family. In April and May, we began the backbreaking task of packing and moving the Shop to our fabulous new location where we have been repeatedly amazed by the increase in traffic through the Shop and Galleries.A-Channelwas here on June 5th for our opening day and gave viewers a preview of our new space.
Although it seemedrushed, we were set
up and fully functioning by the time The Worksstarted on June 23rd, where we saw close to 2000 people throughout the 2 weeks of the festival. In September, we held our Official Grand Opening of the new location with a full house of approximately 175 people in attendance. As we have become known for our fabulous parties, we held our 3rd Annual 'Twas the Night... on November 24th.

I would personally like to thank all of you who donated your time over the last year to help us organize the events we held, those of you who helped out in the Shop and Galleries and those of you who helped with special projects. Your kindness does not go unnoticed and I look forward to working with you in the future! Last Autumn we formed a partnership with Amiskwaci Academy and had a grade twelve student helping us with various jobs. Bobbi-Johelped us in the Shop during the Christmasrush, and was able to alleviate some of the pressure during the onslaught of new inventory and helped with general officeoperations. On behalf of the staff and board of the ACC, I would like to thank Bobbi-Jo for all of her hard work and wish her well in her future endeavors.

2001 promisesto be an exciting year in the Discovery Gallery. We start year off with an exploration into the art Of paper with Pankratz and Jean Pankratz has been working on an installationtitled"Spirits of the Boreal' since 1994.
This proiect consisted of large structurescovered in paper pulp and saplings wrapped in copper wire, patinated and thencovered with handmade oriental

Forest and she has been documenting its demise since
1996. The documentationprocess has evolved into a new body of work thatwill be on display in our Discovery Gallery from January 6th to the 31 st.
"My art is about communication. Language is
an art and art is language. The landscape and

Holdgrafer
is a textile artist, facilitator, Curator and
scholar. Her work has been exhibited in national shows in Canada and the United States. She was recently featured in an article in Alberta Views magazine which described the work of five leading Alberto art quilters. Mary has an interest in how the creative process can be used to enhance personal growth. She leads workshops which encourage creative individuals to examine their personal process as a means of advancing their work She tells us in her artist statement:
cant images and dreams in my work. Sometimesmy work serves as a mirror in which I see myself more clearly and sometimesas a iournal in which I record my thoughts and experiences. The result is always greater self-awareness. When I share my work with Otherswho find it meaningful it is an added bonus." Recently "v{ary was the guest curator for the Alberta Craft Council exhibition entitled "Speculations". In it she asked fine craft artists to speculate on their personal values and how it relates to their work. Look for this exhibition soon on the ACC web site at

THE
"Cover Stories" Goes Provincial.
Kudos
The March/April 2000exhibition was a hit in Edmonton. "Cover Stories" became a "reunion"of sorts. Memberswhosework had been featuredon coversof this magazine, over the past 20 years, were invited to show us their currentwork.Twenty-eight members participated. Now, a slightly edited version of the exhibition has started to tour the province. You can see it at the Lethbridge Public Libraryuntil the end of January,and in about a dozen more locations over the next few years. Watch for dates in up-coming magazines or check the Alberta Craft Council web site for more details.

Post Cards & Business Cards
The Alberta Craft Council has expanded our postcard runs to include business cards. They are full colour with images (on
the front)with your importantcontact
informationon the back. Yousupply us with the image (35 mm slide), text and layout, and we will compile all the information and send it to the printers. Forming a gang printing (8 —16 people participating) lowers the overall cost for each participant. The cost is $200for 2500business cards, $275 for 2500postcards and $22.50for each extra scanned image. Non-members will be charged an extra $40. The ACC may keep up to 200 postcards/business cards for promotional purposes. We are expecting to do another run in January so if you are interested please call the office for a complete information package.

Bobbie Hoffman Scholarship
Awards Announced
Congratulations to ACC members Arlene Westen and Julia Reimer for being selected as co-winners of this year's Bobbie Hoffman Scholarship Award. Arlene is a craftswoman with experience in the fibre arts. In her artist statement she tells us: "My art is expressed through techniques and processes, which have been traditionally synonymous with craft and the decorative arts such as stitchery, repeat imagery and surface embellishment." Arlene will be using her portion of the award to attend a five-day Bookbinding
Intensivewith instructorRegBeatty,president of The Canadian Bookbindersand
BookArtists Guild. Julia Reimer is a hot glass artist who plans to use her portion of the scholarship to attend a glass blowing course at Series at Red Deer College this summer. Julia tells us in her artist statement that her work has been described by some as "architectural" but there is no doubting that the landscape also plays an important role in her designs. "My experiences on the prairies have given me an appreciation of the crisp light, straight horizons, the curve of a slope... Within the simplicity of this setting there are land marks that draw the eye to a particular point." The ACC is pleased to award both of
these craftswomenwith this award and wish them good luck in their future studies and work.

Calgary Corner
The Calgary and Region Group of the Alberta Craft Council continues to seek out new
venuesforshowingour members'workin
2001.We will have at least two art walk venues,and have submitted a proposal to the Devonian Gardens for their lineup of shows next year.This would be great exposure for the Alberta Craft Council as it is a high traffic venue in the middle of downtown Calgary. Our seminar by Charles Lewton-Brain was a huge successand we will host more seminars in the new year. Some of the probable topics will be photographing your work, legal issues facing artists and dealing with galleries. We will keep you posted as
dates are set for these in the Alberta Craft Councilwebsite.
One of our new ongoing projects is putting together a comprehensive portfolio of members' work. This will include photos, bios and artist statements.This Willbe very useful for show organizers when we are doing submissionsfor artwalk and other possible shows. Our meetings will continue in the new year on the last Monday of the month at the MacDougall Centre, 466-6th Street S.W. at 7:00pm. For further information, please call Susan White at 281-5670.
Share your Scraps
Calgary Member VickieNewington wants to knowif there is any interestfromthe membership in sharing cast-off materials from your craft, often thrown out, with other members who could perhaps use them? This could encourage artists to explore new directionsin their work and would help out the landfills. There would be no exchange of money, except possibly for shipping, and the memberswould arrange their own deals. Please let ACC know your opinion or better still post a messageon the ACC'smessage board at www.albertacraft.ab.ca.
Photographing Your Art
The Calgary contingent would like you to join us in a seminar called '*Photographing Your Art." We'll have Gary Roll from ACAD come on the 27th of January, 1-4 p.m. to talk to us about how to light our
piecesto besteffect,what film is best to use, what colourof backgroundto have,
etc. Gary is a graduate from SAIT in journalism and has been working for 27 years as an audio/visual technician. Fifteen of those years have been at ACAD.where he now headsup theA/ V Laboratory
Wouldn't it be great to be able to handle another one of the publicity steps ourselves?The seminar will be a fund-raiser for our airport display case,so the cost will
be $15.00/adult,$5.00/student,and it will be held at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary.
