On July 20, CAF Board member Kim Stallwood will present the first 2022 Annual Tom Regan Memorial Lecture—entitled The Martin Bicentenary: An Opportunity to Look Back and Imagine the Future—at the AnimalLaw: Visions for the Future Conference, hosted by the U.K. Centre for Animal Law. The subject of his lecture (and the conference is) the bicentenary of the passage of the Cruel Treatment of Cattle Act in 1822, sponsored by Richard “Humanity Dick” Martin.
The Culture & Animals Foundation (CAF) is delighted to announce that artist and activist Sue Coe has been awarded the 2022 Nancy Regan Arts Prize for her decades-long work on behalf of animal rights. For videos of her talking about her work, with CAF board member Kim Stallwood, click here.
For Sue, the Arts Prize reminds of her long relationship with CAF, which in 1994 at its International Compassionate Living Festival awarded Sue Coe the Outstanding National Activist Award. “It was shocking,” she remembers. “It was stunning, and such a beautiful gift. And now this gift: it’s a bookend to forty years of work.”
Since 2020, CAF has been working with students from Columbia College’s Navab Fellowship Program. The program enables students interested in a career in the non-profit sector to gain work experience and learn the opportunities and challenges presented by a small arts organization. In 2022, our fellow is artist Victoria Reshetnikov. Victoria compiled and edited the videos of 2022 Nancy Regan Arts Prize awardee, Sue Coe.
Tom Regan (1938-2017) was the co-founder of the Culture & Animals Foundation with his wife Nancy (1938–2021). Together, they made a major contribution to animal rights. You can read about their and CAF’s origins, work, and legacy below.
