Bursary Assistance Available for
Established and Emerging Artists

Registration is now in full swing at the
Metchosin International Summer School of
the Arts (MISSA) outside Victoria. Now in
its 29th year, the summer studio series offers
over 40 workshops in a wide array of creative
pursuits, including jewelry making, painting,
ceramics, storytelling and photography. The
forested Pearson College campus setting
serves as an inspiring environment, conducive
to intensive exploration of the arts.

“Everyone leaves with a new enthusiasm
for their art. The peaceful yet stimulating
atmosphere attracts many students and
teachers to return regularly to enjoy the
exchange of artistic ideas and take part in
the ‘MISSA magic’,” observed Dave Skilling,
MISSA Executive Director.

Each year MISSA awards a limited number
of endowed bursaries. These typically cover
workshop tuition and bursary students are
expected to contribute a minimum of four
hours volunteer time per week and to write a
brief report outlining their MISSA experience.

In addition, MISSA has three Young
Artist bursaries available to students 19

to 29 years old and attending art school or

actively pursuing a career as a full time artist

or art teacher. Each Young Artist Bursary is
valued at approximately $1,000 and includes
tuition for a five-day workshop plus six days
accommodation and meals.

Bursary selection is undertaken by the
board of directors and is based on artistic
merit, financial need and commitment to art
practice. The bursary application deadline
for MISSA 2013 is May 1. @

For details on the bursary and the 2013 summer
studio workshop series visit www.missa.ca.

POTTERS - We

need your help!

Project Empty Bowl in support of A
Loving Spoonful
June 21

A Loving Spoonful will be hosting the
long awaited Project Empty Bowl Gala at
the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel on June
21st, 2013. With your help last year this
event raised $100,000 to help provide
food and related services to men, women
and children living with HIV/AIDS in
the community!

As many of you know, Project Empty
Bowl has a very unique premise with each
attendee at this event receiving a special
handcrafted bowl as a reminder of their
generous contribution to this very worthy
cause,

‘This year we are in need of 350 ceramic
2-cup bowls for the event. These bowls
will need to be food safe. If you can
provide five bowls that would be great,
if you can provide 20 bowls that would
be fantastic! Any donation would greatly
be appreciated. You can include business
cards for your bowls so guests may know
who made their bowl.

To donate bowls or let us know you
are creating some please contact Lisa
Martella at lisam@alovingspoonful.org
or by telephone at 604-682-6325. Bowls
can be dropped off at A Loving Spoonful,
#100-1300 Richards Street, Vancouver
or at the Gallery of B.C. Ceramics on
Granville Island. (Please mark for Project
Empty Bowl c/o A Loving Spoonful)
Arrangements can be made if a pick up is
required. All donations will be recognized
in our event program,

We hope to receive all bowls by May 31.
Thank you for your ongoing generosity.
We are so appreciative!
