Alberta Potters Association show Wide Open at the Comox Valley
Art Gallery, Oct. 1 to Nov. 1.

October has been a busy month for the exchange shows between
Alberta and B.C. The Alberta Potters Association (APA) show Wide
Open opened at the Comox Valley Art Gallery in Courtenay, B.C.,

where it was on display from Oct. 1 to Nov. 5. It will travel to
Vancouver and be installed in our Gallery of BC Ceramics from Nov.
12 to Dec. 1. After all the excitement of organizing the exchange,
the Board and members in the GVR are looking forward to seeing
the work. We hope many of you had the opportunity to view it in
Courtenay or will see it this month in Vancouver.

BC-in-a-Box 3: The Edge of Here opened at the Medicine Hat Cultural
Centre in Medicine Hat, Alta. and was on display October 5 to 26.
From pictures we received from organizers in Alberta, it seems that
many attended the opening. The exhibition looked quite wonderful in
the gallery. The APA and PGBC exhibitions will be shown together in
the gallery at Medalta, also in Medicine Hat, in January 2012. From
there, plans are well underway for exhibiting it in Seattle for NCECA.
Please stay posted for more information on this front.

Remember to check the blogsite via the link on the guild website
under “What's On/Events”, where you will be able to read about the
latest goings-on with both shows. The complete online catalogue with
all B.C. participants is also available from that same site. We look

forward to reading your comments and responses on the blog.
