We are excited to share our Medalta International Exhibition, “Cheers @ Medalta,”
with you! This year, as we launched the call for submissions on St.
Patrick’s Day at NCECA’s (National Council on Education for the Ceramic
Arts) 50th anniversary celebration, we felt there was no better theme
than celebratory drinking vessels!
It
has been great to see so many varied submissions from around the world
in ode to celebratory drinking vessels. In the end we had over 430 works
submitted which our juror, Robin DuPont, had the difficult task of
narrowing down into 140 pieces for the exhibition. Along with jurying
the exhibition, Robin will be selecting the grand prize winner of a month long residency at Medalta with accommodation!
If you can’t make it to the reception join Medalta on Instagram, where we will be posting live from the opening and announcing the grand prize and purchase prize winners.
The
International Exhibition is one of our biggest and most anticipated
exhibitions of the year, and this year will be no exception.  The
celebratory drinking vessels we have received from all over the world
are a must see, and the best part is… if you see something you like,
it’s yours to purchase!

Clay Bodies @ Art Gallery of Nova Scotia

 
July 23, 2016 to December 4, 2016
Curator: Sandra Alfoldy

Clay Bodies I is the first of two exhibitions which explore
the complex relationship between clay and bodies, both figurative and
geographical. In this exhibition, clay and its relationship to the human
body is explored through a number of works. These pieces have been
chosen to represent the different ways in which the body can be
expressed through ceramics.

Examples by artists Teresa Bergen, Shary Boyle, Allison Britton,
Michael Flynn, Alma and Ernst Lorenzen, Walter Ostrom, Krystyna Sadowska
and Konrad Sadowski, and Brother Thomas point towards a deeper
understanding of the relationship between the medium of clay and the
body.
