I can’t lie, I’m a huge fan of Medalta. It’s a home away from home and if they would just let me stay indefinitely with my family I would be there tomorrow and move in permanently. But you, yes YOU, have the chance to go and be a part of this world class facility and international artist residency program. You just have to apply.
So what exactly are you waiting for?
No really…get your applications in!

To-kĕn Digital Gallery is
the launching of a nascent idea, an extension of the Graduate Certificate
Program of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, Fredericton, N.B.
Coming out of many discussions with the participants in the program, around
careers, studio practice, community responsibility, and much more, a desire to
converse with others in Canada came about.
This is the first annual To-kĕn
Series: Digital Gallery Review of
emerging and established artists visual-work. In this inaugural launch there
are two curated surveys in the form of two “Open calls”.
Call #1
Social Conscience
“In this survey I would like to see what
objects
with a social conscience other
emerging ceramic artists are creating.” (Martin Jarman)
Social Conscience; open to emerging clay artists
throughout Canada.
Call #2
The Human Condition
“I am looking for work by artists who are
using either figurative, or non-figurative ceramics as a form of
self-exploration.”(Jennifer -Lynn McInnis-Wharton)
The Human Condition; open to emerging and established
clay artists throughout Canada
These two-curated Calls to
Show will produce two shows that will be shown and promoted digitally across
Canada. Significant work will be recognized and the opportunity for artist
statements and links to websites will be provided. At the heart of this is the
desire for the participants of the Graduate Certificate Program to reach out
and learn what else is going on in Canada on certain topics of their interest.
It is also an opportunity for the practice and development of both skills in
curating and in writing on work being made today. Your participation is
appreciated.
