a site to see friday: Ordinary made Extraordinary
Add the extraordinary to your collection of everyday mugs with a one-of-a-kind BAC Art Mug!
 |
| Susan Card |
In honour of the BAC’s 35th Anniversary and in support of
its Permanent Collection of Contemporary Canadian Ceramics, the
Permanent Collection Committee selected 35 gifted Canadian ceramists to
create and donate five unique mugs for an on-line auction to raise funds
for the purchase of artwork. These limited-edition and unique
sculptural creations will be sold to the highest bidders from May 20 to
June 3.
It’s an affordable way to start a truly extraordinary collection. In
fact, these mugs are so special that each artist was asked for one
additional mug to include in the Permanent Collection. The remaining
five mugs from each artist will go up for auction online, making them
true collector’s items.
How Does It Work?
These one-of a kind mugs can be seen online starting on May 3. They
will be divided into three auction lots, each lasting five days,
starting on May 20.
All the funds generated from the auction will go to the Permanent Collection Committee for new acquisitions.
Register to Bid Today!
Lot I Closes: May 24 at 6pm
Lot II Closes May 29 at 6pm
Lot III Closes June 3 at 6pm Happy 35th BAC!
