Entries are being accepted now for the 2013 NICHE Awards, a prestigious juried competition recognizing excellence in fine craft design.

Professional and student artists may apply online at www.NICHEAwards.com. The deadline for entries is September 30, 2012.  Contest categories include ceramic, fiber, glass, metal, wood, and jewelry arts.  New categories added this year seek original artist-made holiday ornaments and decorations; objects for the kitchen and for dining; and jewelry made from alternative materials.
Judging of entries is based on three main criteria:
  • technical excellence, both in surface design and form
  • a distinct quality of unique, original and creative thought
  • market viability (professional entries only)

The entry fees are $40 for professional craft artists and $18 for students; up to three artworks may be entered per person. The judging will take place in October. Finalists will be invited to display their work in a NICHE Awards exhibit at the Buyers Market of American Craft, a national wholesale tradeshow of American-made products, February 16-18, 2013, in Philadelphia. Winners will be announced at a ceremony during the Buyers Market on February 17, 2013.

“Forage, a summit and symposium of the best sorts, will convene to address the creative processes and business practices of any and all Creatives out there including Artists & Designers, Crafters, DIYers, Foodies, Bloggers & Photographers! We’ll tackle the issues at the front of your mind through presentations, roundtable discussions and keynote speakers.”

Ah the BC air is filling my lungs and a quick trip to the beach has cured me of the stresses of the last few weeks of moving and fighting with my internet provider to try to get back online. I’m excited to be a part of Forage, an amazing event this week, and I’ll be posting updates (internet providing) so that you guys can all follow along with the fun. There will be  more art stars and creative types taking over Gabriola than you can shake a stick at so stay tuned….
