Earthborn Details:
|
Yes, Earthborn 2010 will take place! We are
working with the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery
Curator, Christian Bernard Singer, to mount a
wonderful exhibition of our members' best work.
The juror will be Joni Moriyama. Joni is an
Assistant Professor at OCAD, the Ontario College of
Art and Design. She is a graduate of the Ontario
College of Art and Alfred University. Her work is
widely exhibited and represented in many Galleries
and Collections. We are very fortunate to have her
bring her expertise as, not only an artist, but also
a teacher of art and ceramics, to jury our show. The
critique is always an excellent, educational
opportunity. One can learn so much.
The exhibition will open on Sunday, June 13, from
2-5 PM and continue until August. At 1 pm, there
will be an Artist's Talk by Bruce Taylor whose
opening of his exhibition at the C2G2 coincides with
ours.
On Friday June 4 a pot luck and critique of
members' work by Joni will take place at the C2G2.
She will jury the pieces and select the show earlier
that day. ALL MEMBERS are WELCOME to all the
Earthborn events. Come and learn something new,
socialize, and enjoy the fabulous food at the pot
luck supper! See you there! Times for June 4 are
yet to be confirmed with the Gallery.
You may submit up to 4 pieces at a cost of $5.00
each. The acceptance of submissions will most likely
take place on Thursday June 3 at the C2G2 but the
date, times and location need confirmation. All
dates, times, exact locations and further
information about the Standards for Submission and
Sponsors' Awards will be in the May newsletter.
There is still time to make those special pieces!
When getting ready for the Sale, set aside your best
work to enter into Earthborn. This is an opportunity
to support Earthborn, see your work exhibited in a
Gallery setting, and benefit from an expert's
comments! |
