The 2009 Awards Ceremony, which is a free event open to the public, will be held at the Arts Theatre, 53 Angas Street, on Monday 7 December at 6 pm. This year’s guest presenter will be national and international arts identity Anthony Steel AM.
Award winners receive cash and a trophy featuring the ACC’s unique design. The ACColades are unique in Australia for including a cash prize. The main funding for the awards is from the Department for the Arts (ArtSA), and the Independent Arts Foundation funds a special Innovation award which recognises and encourages ground-breaking developments and exciting experimentation.
The ACColades, now in their 12th year, are the annual awards from the Adelaide Critics Circle, a group of around 20 Adelaide-based critics, writing for the mainstream and alternative print and electronic media.

Her debut exhibition Road to India was in June 2009 at Higher Ground, Adelaide.

“Road to India is an expression of the colours, textures and emotions imagined at the outset of a journey. The debut exhibition for local Visual Artist Joslin Koolen documents her memories of a world she visited as a child, revisited as she prepares to travel there as an adult.”
