HOT MUD: Call for entry

OK, It's official, the Burlington Art Centre is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its contemporary ceramic collection with a special exhibition.  Along with some very good company that reaches across the country, I have been asked to be a juror.  Do see the call below and share the good news!

One of my favourite aspects about the Burlington is the multiplicity of display spaces in the venue.  Everything from exhibition halls, to floor to ceiling display cases in the corridors to a courtyard space, as seen above.
