Potters Council 2011 Exhibition: “The Shoulders We Stand On” Once again, we celebrate the community of our council with a show of members’ work in conjunction with NCECA 2011.
The name of the show is “The Shoulders We Stand On“.
The 2011 Potters Council members show in Tampa, Florida will pay tribute to our roots, the significant influences that shape us and guide our work in clay. We are creative heirs standing on the shoulders of Giants. We cannot help but reference and renew their ideas in our own work. These distinctive inspirations become the touchstones of our best original efforts. These muses are not always specific or singular. Your inspiration might lie in the simple forms of an anonymous ancient potter. Perhaps you’ve been seduced from afar by the work of legendary potters. A teacher may have given you a unique point of view, personal guidance or new set of skills. Your work for this particular exhibition may have a visual link to a particular culture or artist. It might find its connection on a more philosophical level. it must however show both a clear source of inspiration and a truly original new direction. We do not seek copies of our roots, but works, which honor them with fresh, innovative interpretations. Go here for submission form. JUROR
Bill Jones is the editor of Pottery Making Illustrated magazine. He has a broad knowledge of ceramics and wide experience in the field. His exposure to all levels of artists and pottery gives him a uniquely qualified perspective on content and inspiration. VENUE

FACULTY OF FINE ARTS, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY
Concordia University’s Department of Studio Arts invites applications for one limited-term appointment position in Ceramics at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor, effective August 15, 2010 to May 31, 2011.
Limited-term appointment positions are subject to budgetary approval and department or unit need. Individuals holding limited-term appointments may be reappointed, given continued funding and need, as well as satisfactory job performance. Together, initial appointments and subsequent reappointments may not exceed 36 months or a span of three consecutive years.
Studio Arts is the largest department in the Faculty of Fine Arts and enjoys a longstanding reputation as one of Canada’s foremost environments for the study and creation of visual art. BFA programs are offered in Ceramics, Fibres, Intermedia/ Cyberarts, Painting and Drawing, Photography, Print Media, Sculpture and Studio Art.

During the initial appointment, the successful candidate will normally be expected to teach three courses per semester (18 credits total) at the graduate and/or undergraduate level.
Candidates for this position should possess an MFA degree or equivalent with a minimum of two years university teaching experience. We are seeking a practicing ceramicist who is actively engaged within the field.

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS | Deadline: April 1, 2010
http://www.core.mfah.org The Core Program awards artist and critical studies residencies to highly motivated, emerging visual artists and critical writers who have completed their academic training but have not yet fully developed a professional career. About the program
Established in 1982 within the Glassell School of Art of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Core artist residencies encourage intensive and innovative studio practice as well as the elaboration of an intellectual framework to understand that practice. In 1998, the Core critical studies residencies were established to provide an opportunity for writers to pursue independent curatorial and writing projects and to promote the discourse necessary for both artists and critics to sustain their practices. Throughout the year, residents engage in ongoing dialogue with each other and meet with pre-eminent artists, critics, curators, and art historians. How to apply
