The
Keith Kelly Award for Cultural Leadership has been awarded
annually since 1998, when it was established to recognize
the leadership shown by the former National Director of the
CCA during his tenure from 1989 to 1998. It is presented to a Canadian
who has made a significant contribution to the arts through
advocacy work or the development of cultural policy, or who
has otherwise demonstrated leadership in the field. The award
is an inscribed medal designed by medallic artist Susan Taylor.
