EAC/ACB offers its members financial assistance to further their embroidery knowledge and skills. The Memorial Fund is available to individual members and chapters. The Seminar Grant covers the annual seminar registration fee for one member. The Pauline Glover Educational Grant covers the fees for a technique study course.
We also recognize our members’ embroidery and design skills with several awards: Original Design Award, Pulled Thread Award, Seminar Group Project Award, Seminar Theme Award and the Viewers’ Choice Award. EAC/ACB administers The Leonida Leatherale Award on behalf of the Winnipeg Embroiderers’ Guild. All members are encouraged to display their embroidery during the EAC/ACB Members’ Exhibition.
The Service Award provides members with the chance to recognize another member for service to EAC/ACB.
See the lists and galleries of the past recipients of the awards and grants. Youth awards are through the Eleanor Thomas Youth Award.
