CONGRATULATIONS RICH GLASS

RECIPIENT OF THE 2010 PHOTOGRAPHERS' WORKSHOP BURSARY

The Whistler Arts Council is pleased to present Rich Glass with the inaugural Photographers Workshop Bursary. This award, worth $1,000 towards photography workshop tuition fees, was provided through a legacy fund from the Whistler Photographic Society.

“I’m thrilled that one of our local photographers has the chance to learn from a renowned master of photography in Colorado,” says Leanna Rathkelly, past-chair of the Whistler Photographic Society. “There are fabulous photo workshops offered around the world, but it takes time and money to get there. For Rich Glass to be able to take this workshop and share what he has learned with his peers and fans will also benefit the photography community in Whistler.”

The aim of the award is to increase the knowledge and expertise of a photographer living in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and to provide financial assistance to participate in a multi-day workshop chosen by the winner. The bursary winner will play an influential part in further development of photographers in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor by sharing the learned knowledge obtained from the workshop in a community-based seminar or exhibition, fireside discussion or workshop.
