The award I received is called the National Art Award for Excellence in Medallic Sculpture and is awarded once a year to a medallic artist from anywhere in the world. The award is from an organisation in America, which is affiliated with FIDEM and is called the American Numismatic Association; it is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Numismatic means to do with coins and medals. This organisation hosted FIDEM congresses in 1987 and 2007.The medal organisation FIDEM is the acronym of its original name ‘Federation International des Editeurs des Medailles. (It is now called ‘ The International Art Medal Federation’ and its web address is fi dem-medals.org). FIDEM is currently based in Finland.
As such, I am pretty chuffed about getting it. It seems to be a sort of lifetime award as I was asked to supply extensive details of my whole medallic career by the man who nominated me. It was presented last Thursday, 18th August at a coin and medal fair in Chicago and my cousin from New York went there to receive it for me. I have heard by email that it all seemed to go pretty well.

You can have your say...
A new National Cultural Policy for Australia is being developed and Arts Minister Simon Crean has invited all Australians to comment. You can read and download the Discussion paper by going to http://culture.arts.gov.au/.
The last day to have your say is on Friday 21 October.
The Discussion Paper is 26 pages long and talks about how the Government is already involved in the Arts and what it’s aims are for the future. It is well worth reading and you may like to add something you feel the Government should consider.

Hi Association,
I was wondering if someone could help me or point me in the right direction. I am having an up and coming show soon (in October) and I need to hire some plinths. I have googled but unfortunately the plinths seem to be all interstate.
Is there someone who is a member of the association that would have some to hire??? Thankx for your help. see you all at the Annual Exhibition.
Cheers

HI -
I'm wondering if there is anyway of finding some studio space - hopefully on the south east side of the city. I need a little room - say 4 x 4 meters, less if it has to be such.
Many thanks for any help you may be able to render.
Regards,
Tony Mitchell
