Glass artist Benjamin Kikkert, jewelry designer Karen Konzuk and furniture maker Jeff Martin have won the Carter Wosk Award for Applied Art and Design, offered through the British Columbia Achievement Foundation.
“This year’s awardees of the Carter Wosk Award demonstrate creative flair and attention to detail, blending art and function to make our world a better place,” said foundation chair Anne Giardini.
The winners of Outstanding Achievement for Product Design were Michael Barton and Mari Fujita. And the foundation named Nancy Bryant as the 2020 Award of Distinction Laureate, honouring her lifetime achievement in costume design.
The Carter Wosk Award is named in honour of B.C. philanthropist and academic Yosef Wosk, and Sam Carter, a B.C. educator, designer and curator.
