CFAD Annual Graduation Dinner
CFAD Annual Graduation Dinner
The coveted event - which has been running for more than a decade - will see three significant events rolled into one fabulous evening: their annual graduation dinner which acknowledges the centre's graduates: a fun and fabulous fashion extravaganza created by and hosted by CFAD students, and the Too Little Too Late Awards Ceremony.
A sit-down banquet in the atmospheric DLI Hall provides the backdrop for the Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design's most important annual event. The evening's MC will be the ever-effervescent former journalist Farouk Khan.
A highlight of the evening is the tertiary institution's acknowledgment of unsung heroes instrumental in weaving the complex fabric of our community. "The TLTL - Too Little Too Late - Awards are given annually to individuals who contribute unselfishly to the community without the recognition they deserve. It is through their work people were able to break the silence," said CFAD founder Dr Nanda Soobben.
In honour of the late Aziz Hassim, there will be three TLTL Aziz Hassim Literary Awards this year, to be presented to veteran playwright, theatre director and social commentator, Ronnie Govender; poet, commentator, activist and journalist, Don Mattera and author, Drum magazine contributor, academic, critic, poet and essayist, the late Richard Rive.
The Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design (CFAD) is a tertiary institution that offers training in fine art, animation (2D and 3D) and graphic design.
