BAM Biennial 2010: Clay Throwdown! is the inaugural edition of BAM’s new, juried exhibition competition. With over 30 participating artists, it provides a panoramic survey of ceramic art created in the Pacific Northwest and a glimpse into the many directions in which this dynamic medium is moving.
Clay Throwdown! features a select blend of both emerging and established artists with an emphasis on new and site-specific works. It reflects the diverse responses of contemporary artists to one of the oldest media known to man: clay. From personal gestures to commentary on today’s social issues, Clay Throwdown! assembles a wide range of voices unique to the Pacific Northwest and our time. The competition is accompanied by two distinct awards. The John & Joyce Price Award of Excellence, a $5,000 cash prize plus the opportunity of a future solo exhibition at BAM. The Samuel & Patricia Smith People’s Choice Award comes with a $5,000 cash prize and will be selected by Museum visitors. Be sure to cast your vote when visiting BAM! The winner will be announced at the October 28th Members’ Reception.
ABOUT BAM BIENNIAL
BAM Biennial is a juried exhibition that occurs every two years starting in 2010. It brings attention and exposure to the work of contemporary artists and craftsmen in the Pacific Northwest. For each edition, the Museum designates a new focus, exploring a specific medium, technique, process or theme in art, craft and design, the Museum’s artistic focal point. More than 170 proposals were submitted to the 2010 edition which is focused on the theme of clay. 34 artists have been selected to participate in the competition. Submissions were reviewed by a select panel of four jurors comprised of: Bif Brigman, collector (Seattle, WA); Stefano Catalani, Director of Curatorial Affairs/Artistic Director, Bellevue Arts Museum (Bellevue, WA); Akio Takamori, artist (Seattle, WA) and Namita Wiggers, Curator, Museum of Contemporary Craft (Portland, OR).For more info please visit their website.

Today’s site to see is a shout out to my local pottery supply store here in Saskatoon.
Tree opened back in 1974 and has been supplying the local community of ceramic artists ever since. Louise Roy, the shops’ owner is one of the most fantastically lovely people to do business with. My little guy and always enjoy our visit.

So i’m working away on the computer as usual. Why am I never in the studio? Why? Sigh. Anyway…there’s good news. I’m working on a small self-published publication (read iphoto book) that I’m going to be launching at my next gallery exhibition (october) and selling online (asap).
Here’s the problem, I’ve been making figurines since 2005 and there are too many to chose from. So I’m calling on all of you for help! I’ve got my favorites narrowed down, but my favorites and everyone else’s favorites sometimes differ. So you now have the opportunity to have your say.
Vote for your favorite (or favorites) figurine by checking out www.caroleepp.com and browsing through the many years of figurines and then simply drop me a line at [email protected] or in the comments of this post telling me your favorite piece and you could be well on your way to winning a copy of the publication once it is released.
Sound good? 2 readers will be randomly selected and contacted for contact details (or feel free to include those in your email). Post this far and wide, I need some help! Too many to chose from!
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES is September 5th 2010
Seriously, who doesn’t love free stuff?
