The Alberta Craft Council and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts are collaborating on a major exhibition and acquisition of Alberta ceramics. This once in a decade exhibition is a juried competition open to professional and emerging potters, tile makers, clay sculptors, and other ceramic artists from Alberta. The AFA acquired more than $100,000 of contemporary Alberta glass art during 2009. In 2010, the AFA may purchase up to $100,000 of ceramic work primarily through this exhibition. The aim is to up-date the AFA collection, to support ceramic artists’ careers, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Alberta Craft Council. The exhibition will be hosted at the Alberta Craft Council Gallery in Edmonton from April to June 2010 and it may tour to locations in Calgary and elsewhere in Alberta, as well as nationally and internationally. The project also includes a virtual exhibition and published catalogue. Applications will be accepted between December 8, 2009 – January 8, 2010. Download an application form here.
