| Maja Padrov from New Brunswick was one of my choices. These clay "teapots" evoke metal. |
Guess what I've been working on? That's right: HOT MUD. I am one of the lucky jurors who got to select work for this national show. I am very fortunate to be keeping some very good company. Check it out! There's even a free symposium.
In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the Burlington Art Centre (BAC) present a national juried exhibition of contemporary Canadian ceramics by emerging artists. The BAC is uniquely positioned to host this exhibition as it houses the country's largest, permanent collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics.
A jury of senior curators and artists selected the participants in five regions across Canada – the Atlantic Provinces, Québec, Ontario, the Prairies and the Territories, and British Columbia. The jurors have a long view of history and a vision of our future. They are Gloria Hickey (Atlantic Provinces), Alan Elder (Quebec), Rachel Gotlieb (Ontario), Greg Payce (Prairies & the Territories) and Sally Michener (British Columbia)
