Emily Carr University of Art + Design is proud to feature a lecture by renowned Vancouver photographer and 2010 Honorary Doctorate recipient, Fred Herzog.

Fred Herzog has been active in Vancouver's art scene for more than forty years. Born in Germany, he came to Vancouver in 1953. Since that time, he has produced a substantial body of photographs, taking urban life in Vancouver -second-hand shops, vacant lots, neon signage and the crowds of people who have populated the city's streets over the past fifty years-as his primary subject.

Two ceremonies take place this fall, celebrating the winners of the Alcuin Awards; the first, an event in Toronto, October 4, followed by a free public event in Vancouver, October 21.

At the Vancouver ceremony, Alcuin Society Directors will present awards in two different categories. Winners of the 2010 Alcuin Awards for Excellence in Book Design in Canada will receive their awards from Richard Hopkins. The Robert R. Reid Lifetime Achivement in the Book Arts award for 2010 will be presented to one of the family members of the winner, the late Jim Rimmer, by Eric Swanick.
