Less than one year ago, York University and the Faculty of Fine Arts celebrated the opening of The Accolade Project, York's new teaching, exhibition and performance complex, with a week-long festival that included the dedication of The Sandra Faire & Ivan Fecan Theatre in Accolade East. Shift to 2007, and the thriving fine arts community is poised to launch an extended three-week celebration on March 9, further highlighting its resident talent and the new facilities through a multitude of public events spanning all the fine arts disciplines.
In appreciation of a generous donation made by Timothy and Frances Price and their family, York's new high-tech cinema will be dedicated as The Price Family Cinema. The cinema is a cutting edge 500-seat facility with a 40-foot wide screen, Christie Digital projection and 19-speaker Dolby Digital Surround Sound audio system. It also doubles as a fully wired "smart" lecture hall with a York designed, custom-built multimedia system. Timothy is Chair of the York University Foundation Board of Directors and vice-Chair of the York University Board of Governors.
