Toronto ON, November 25, 2024 — Jaime Martino, Executive Director with Tapestry Opera, has been awarded the second annual Jini Stolk Creative Fellowship. The Fellowship was created in memory of arts leader Jini Stolk and continues her legacy by supporting arts management through an award of $20,000 over two years ($10,000 per year) to an arts manager of a small to mid-sized Toronto arts organization.
“I am delighted and so grateful to receive the second-ever Jini Stolk Creative Fellowship, and I take very seriously the trust and responsibility that this Fellowship represents,” says Jaimie Martino. “Jini cared very deeply about the way that we work together to create art, and I am inspired by her work to challenge and rework systems to make them more human-centred. I am honoured to carry on her legacy, and to use the next two years in this Fellowship as a way to continue her work to make a kinder, more inclusive sector for us all.”
