call for artists: Gardiner Museum Ceramic Sculpture Competition

by | Apr 6, 2016 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, technical tuesday

The Gardiner Museum’s Ceramic
Sculpture Competition is challenging artists from across the country
working in all mediums to create a new Toronto landmark using clay. The
monumental sculpture will be installed in front of the Museum on Queen’s
Park, along the busy Bloor and Avenue Road Corridor,  joining the Jun
Kaneko “head” as a focal point of the Museum’s plaza.

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.
