• Simone Brown

Rich Little Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts

This program was designed specifically to assist young emerging artists in the continuation of intensive professional training in the performing arts (dance, theatre, and music).

In 2021, local arts training organizations with solid track records of providing professional arts training to young adults were invited to act as third-party recommenders in a partnership approach to the awarding of funding. Each organization selected two to three deserving students to receive a grant, funded through the Rich Little Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts.

Celia Franca Award

Ottawa, January 1, 2020

The Celia Franca Award was presented this year to Janna Matoussova, a Level 8 student in The School’s Professional Ballet Programme (Ward 10—Gloucester-Southgate, represented by Diane Deans).

The Award, in honour of Miss Franca, a great Canadian icon and a Co-Artistic Director of The School of Dance for many years, is presented annually to a young dancer showing commitment, dedication, excellent work ethic, exemplary behaviour and an outstanding love of dance.

The Celia Franca Award is represented by the sculpture After Arabesque by Canadian Artist Anne Harris.
