We offer small monthly art purchase awards to help serious artists keep working.
Open to all visual artists including sculptors, installation, digital, mixed media,
film/video from all countries.
Deadline for the $1000.00 Working Art Grant / Purchase Award is August 31, 2013
The Working Art Grant/Purchase Award is a meager one-time purchase award intended to disperse small but vitalizing bursts of funding to support an artist’s ongoing art making process.
The Working Art Grant/Purchase Award is available to all domestic and international artists working in all media. As a stipulation for eligibility to receive the Working Art Grant/Purchase Award, we ask that each prospective recipient be willing to exchange one of their works of our later mutual agreement in return. We reimburse the artist’s shipping costs.
If you are interested in being considered for one of these awards, please send 5 digital images/files of recent available work (total mail size no larger than 2 MB please) via email. No written proposals or CV’s are required unless the artist would like to include them. Instead, please simply include in the body of your email current contact information and a link to an artist’s website if available, and send to: [email protected]. There is no application form.
For application guidelines please see: http://www.workingartist.org/art-grant-guidelines.html

Alright guys it’s that time in which I start to get annoying by reminding you daily to get your applications in for the Medalta International Cup Show. So lets make it easy on everyone involved by having you all each just send in your applications, because it’ll get embarrassing for all concerned if I have to start calling each and everyone of you individually to remind you! : )
Show us your mugs (or cups, yunomis, steins, etc) and be a part of Medalta’s first annual International Cup Show!
This show – August 23 to September 28- is being juried by Musing About Mud blogger and Canadian ceramic rockstar, Carole Epp.

you’re interested, have a look at the eligibility requirements,
important dates and other information on this page and fill out the

JUROR
Carole Epp is likely best known for her work on Musing About Mud, (www.musingaboutmud.blogspot.com)
an online resource of ceramic related content. She is a graduate of the
Australian National University, produces two distinct lines of
functional and sculptural ceramics, exhibits internationally, and at the
end of the day is a mother to two charming young boys.
ELIGIBILITY

either functional or sculptural so long as it addresses the idea of “the
cup”. Please submit only original work that has been completed in the
last two years. All work must use at least 50% fired clay as the primary
medium.
Work must not exceed 2 feet in width.
All work must be properly prepared for exhibition, be durable enough
to survive shipping and display, and come with exhibition/assemblage
instructions if applicable. Medalta reserves the right to reject any
work that is not suitably prepared for exhibition or that differs from
the original submission.
Medalta reserves the right to use images and photographs of accepted
works for the purposes of promotional materials, including postcards,

All entries must be for sale, (priced in Canadian Dollars).
