Biographical history
Frank Nowosad was an art critic, whose reviews appeared regularly in Monday Magazine, Arts Canada, Artsmagazine, CBC Radio, and Canadian Art. He was founder and Artistic Co-Director of Canada Ice Dance Theatre. His interest in skating as a performing art resulted in many choreographic projects and extensive writing for skating publications. Another research interest of Nowosad's was the Austrian born artist, Richard Ciccimarra. He gave lectures at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria on Ciccimarra, and wrote Ciccimarra: A biography (1988), and Catalogue: Richard Ciccimarra, 1924-1973 (1988).
