Ian Johnston
The Canadian Clay and Glass Museum has just announced this year’s shortlist for the WINIFRED SHANTZ AWARD FOR CERAMICS and RBC AWARD FOR GLASS. Ian Johnston from Nelson, British Columbia and Jasna Sokolovic from Vancouver, British Columbia are the finalists for the WINIFRED SHANTZ AWARD FOR CERAMICS. THE RBC AWARD FOR GLASS will be decided between Cali Balles and Catherine Vamvakas Lay, both artists are from Toronto.
Jasna Sokolovic
Both of these awards mark significant milestones in a recipient’s career. The WINIFRED SHANTZ AWARD provides $10,000 and RBC Award provides $7,000 toward professional development. These awards recognize significant artistic achievements and are an investment in the future, designed to allow the recipient time away from the studio, to travel for career development, link with mentors, visit other studios, study museum collections, or liaise with industry, performing research that will further their studio production.
Congrats to everyone for their accomplishment!
