Together
Yukon Arts Centre, Parks Canada and the US National Park Service are
seeking three visual artists – one from Canada, one from the United
States and one regional (Yukon or Alaska) – to participate in a
cross-border creative journey.
The Chilkoot Trail Artist Residency Program invites artists to hike the
famous Chilkoot Trail, passing through Klondike Gold Rush National
Historic Park (Alaska) and Chilkoot Trail National Historic Site
(northern British Columbia). Entering its fourth consecutive
year, this one-of-a-kind program is a unique opportunity for artists to
practice and promote their work in a spectacular setting!
Some details about the program:

In
March 2005 the 1st International Triennial of Silicate Arts was
held in the Hungarian town of Kecskemét. Organised by the
International Ceramics Studio, a world famous ceramic art centre
and the Foundation for Contemporary Ceramic Arts. From an idea originated
by János Probstner, founder and director of the ICS, this
is a new internatinal exhibition and competition focussing on the
silicate arts of ceramics, porcelain, glass and concrete.
The
aims of the International Silicate Triennial are to stimulate both
fine and applied artists to create interesting and innovative objects
and to give scope to the industrial and artistic application of
new materials and technologies, encouraging the widening of directions
in 21st century silicate arts.
We
would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the 4th
International Silicate Arts Triennial will again take place
in Kecskemét, Hungary in August 2014 and we hope it will build
on the success of this first competition and become a major part
of the international exhibition forum. Information and application

December 2013 and the application deadline will be 31st March 2014.
