In this issue, you will learn about the history of the prestigious Strathbutler Award, which was established by Sheila Hugh Mackay in 1991 to recognize artists who have achieved personal excellence in any field of visual art and are deemed by an independent jury to have made significant contributions to New Brunswick. One of the largest cash awards in Canada, the Strathbutler is currently valued at $25,000, and receiving it propels a recipient to the forefront of the art world: To date, three Strathbutler recipients (Peter Powning, potter, Brigitte Clavette, sculptor, and Anna Torma, fibre artist) later received the coveted Governor General’s Award. 

Our Culture Correspondent, Thandiwe McCarthy and award-winning photographer (and Londoner turned New Brunswicker!) Gary Weekes visited Rob Reese at Royal Barbershop in Fredericton. Gary Weekes says: “We pick incredible individuals to feature in [EDIT] magazine, not just for their success in the role of the businessperson, but what they bring and contribute to others, above and beyond their day to day. Working endlessly to uplift all and to give back to others is a staple of what Rob does; the comfort he exudes “on camera” is the reflection of what he displays in life!”

In short, this volume, like every other, is a celebration of where we are and of those who create, inspire and uplift.

Enjoy the season. Enjoy the issue.
