Rosemary Hale is this year\u2019s recipient of the Laura Sabia Award, given annually by the Niagara Artists Centre to commemorate International Women\u2019s Day. The award recognizes a Niagara woman who has made an outstanding commitment to the arts and furthered the careers of women artists.<\/p>\n
Hale received the award because of her leadership in establishing a \u201cmuch needed, first-class performing arts centre here in Niagara,\u201d said Laura Thomas of the Niagara Symphony.<\/p>\n
She also supports local artistic endeavours, including the Niagara Symphony, Chorus Niagara, Lyndesfarne Theatre, Suitcase in Point and Theatre Beyond Words.<\/p>\n
Hale said she is \u201cpositively thrilled\u201d to get the award.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaura Sabia was an amazing and inspiring artist-activist woman,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is a real honour to receive an award that carries her name.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hale is president of the Bicentennial Legacy Council, a bi-national organization committed to organizing commemorations around the War of 1812. She also serves as co-chair of the Regional Cultural Committee and a board director for the Niagara Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n
During her time at Brock, new interdisciplinary initiatives have emerged, including Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the Interactive Arts and Science program, dedicated to studies and training in interactive media.<\/p>\n
Each year, art is commissioned as a gift to the Laura Sabia Award winner. Hale will receive a limited edition print entitled Trois Oeuf, created by St. Catharines artist Sandy Middleton. It will be presented at the Women in Music concert at Club Roma on Sunday.<\/p>\n
