Congratulations Jan Jordaan : 2010 Recipient of “Too Little Too Late” Art and Media Award, South Africa

Congratulations from everyone on www.realstoriesgallery.com

Jan Jordaan, Director of Art For Humanity, has been chosen as a 2010 recipient of the Art and Media Award.  The TLTL (Too little Too late) Award was initiated in 2005 by Nanda Soobben, cartoonist, animator and journalist. The aim of the award is to recognise individuals who have given off their best and made a significant contribution to South African Society in Arts, Culture and Media.

Nanda Soobben, the founder of CFAD, said that the “Too Little Too Late” and Media Awards were given to individuals who contributed unselfishly to the community without the recognition they deserved.

“Most South African artists have highlighted the plight of the struggle for freedom, and through their work people were able to break the silence. These men and women have an incredible talent. The contributions they have made to the South African media and art industry are priceless,” Soobben said.

“As a white Afrikaner male, I represent that for which ‘aparthate’ was declared a crime against humanity. It is important for me to facilitate, through that which I know best – printmaking – some sort of insurance against all present day and future, crimes against humanity.”
