Call for Emerging and Established Ceramic Artists and Potters Now Open!
Visit https://saltspringpottersguild.com/ceramics-awards for submissions.
Emerging and established artists from Vancouver Island and the Gulf
Islands are invited to submit their sculptural and/or functional ceramic
works for consideration in the Salt Spring Island Ceramic Awards. In
the inaugural year, $4200 are offered in prizes.
Artists are encouraged to submit works comprised of clay, whose
practice demonstrates originality, creativity and technical skill.
The competition is open to both emerging and established artists. Artists are anonymous to a three-member jury.
Online submissions are open from January 15 to May 31, 2016
The
winning sculpture will be selected by a five-person jury made up of
artist and novelist, Douglas Coupland; Director of the Power Plant
Contemporary Art Gallery, Gaëtane Verna; Associate Dean of OCAD
University, Michael Prokopow; Gardiner CEO and Executive Director,
Kelvin Browne; and Gardiner Chief Curator, Meredith Chilton.
The
competition will promote the benefits of public art, and demonstrate
both the versatility of clay and its potential for outdoor art. It will
also build appreciation for artists who work in the ceramic medium and
encourage artists to experiment with it for the first time.
The
Gardiner is grateful to La Fondation Emmanuelle Gattuso for
commissioning the artwork and to the City of Toronto for their support
of the Ceramic Sculpture Competition, and would like to recognize
Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam and Emmanuelle Gattuso, in particular, for
their leadership in helping this important civic initiative to proceed.
Who can apply?
This competition is open to Canadian artists who work in all mediums and reside in Canada. Artists may apply individually or can submit a collaborative team proposal, providing at least one artist resides in Canada. Artists directly involved with the Gardiner Museum are welcome to participate.
The joyful and cartoony work of Kari Radasch aids the mind of the viewer in creating their own unique experience. Her work is playful and exposes mistakes and marks, each piece being its own doodle, sketch, and work of art all at once.
Radasch infuses her pots with inspiration from old Hallmark cards, Copenhagen China, old-school Tupperware, cake, candy, and textiles. The result is delicious pottery that looks nearly edible, like a uniquely decorated cake fit for a child’s birthday party (one of those elaborate cakes made more to show off to the other parents than for the actual child).
Radasch has been known to work on mosaic house projects that are far more artistically developed than that of your average home-owner, redoing her kitchen backsplash and entire shower. When your life is a work of art, it is indeed reflected in your pots; Radasch’s pots are certainly full of life.
Radasch received her BFA from the Maine College of Art in Portland, Maine and her MFA from the University of Nebraska- Lincoln. She has been an NCECA emerging artist, Salad Days Resident at
Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and spent a summer working at the esteemed Kohler Factory. On her website, Radasch generously shares all of her recipes and techniques for making. She is currently living in coastal Maine and teaching at the Maine College of Art.
Thanks again to our great Guest writers from Ceramics Artists Now. Make
