Are you an emerging artist? Do you want to develop your artistic practice? We have two opportunities for you!

The
Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is calling for submissions to the 2014
RBC Award for Glass and Winifred Shantz Award for Ceramics.

These
prestigious national awards allow practicing early career ceramic and
glass artists to undertake a period of independent research, or other
activities that advance their artistic and professional practice at a
key moment in their careers. Award winners receive $10,000; a second
prize of $1,000 is also granted. The Selection Committee is comprised of
respected contemporary glass and ceramic artists (both sculptural and
functional) and other arts professionals. Winners will be announced and
the awards presented at a gala event in Waterloo Ontario on November 22,
2014.

To
be eligible for the Winifred Shantz Award for Ceramics or the RBC Award
for Glass, artists must be Canadian citizens or have Permanent Resident
status. They must have developed skills through training and/or
practice in the field (not necessarily in academic institutions) and be
recognized by other artists working in the same artistic tradition. All
applicants have maintained an independent professional practice for no
more than 10 years prior to their application.

Trudie Alfred from ann reed neice        Trudie Alfred1

Trudie Alfred (1922 – 2010) was a well- known Sydney potter and
teacher with a great passion for ceramics. She struggled financially to
sustain a ceramic practice in her early years as a potter and so, to
assist others in a similar position, she left a generous bequest to The
Australian Ceramics Association. Trudie specified that the funds be used
to support the work of students preparing to embark on a career in the
field of ceramics.

Conditions, please contact Vicki Grima at The Australian Ceramics
Association.
