Celebrating Sandra Alfoldy
It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the untimely passing of Dr. Sandra Alfoldy on February 24, 2019.
Sandra opened her first show as Associate Curator of Fine Craft at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in June of 2008. “For the past 10 years Sandra brought a wealth of knowledge and professionalism to her role,” said Sarah Fillmore, Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Programs, “Her research in craft history was unique and established her as a leading academic authority in craft scholarship in Canada.”
Sandra’s commitment to craft, and her presence at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, will be sorely missed.
