Over a year since we lost our friend and office buddy Norman Armour. 💙

Simon Fraser University has set up a memorial fund in his name: The Norman Armour Memorial Fund will support an award for undergraduate contemporary arts students who have demonstrated a spirit of collaboration and interdisciplinarity through their work and artistic practice. Support from donors will provide students with much-needed funding to pursue their education.

The link to the fund is below if you’d like to donate. 💙
