FEATURED ARTIST, Courtenay GALLERY OF BC

CERAMICS: DEADLINES

Gallery Retail juries

‘There is one remaining gallery retail jury for this year, Sept. 10.

Tentative dates for drop off of new work to be juried next year are
the first weeks of March, June and September. Exact dates will be
confirmed in January 2013.

Exhibition juries

This is a reminder to members that you can now apply for an
exhibition at the Gallery of BC Ceramics at any time during
the year. We hope this will allow more flexibility and allow you
to put together your submissions when inspiration actually hits
you, rather than having to wait for a specific date to submit. We
also look at scheduling a two-year period to allow more lead time
in creating work for exhibitions as well as creating a balanced
exhibition program.

For more specific information on either jury, please refer to the
Guild website www.bcpotters.com/Guild/. Select “Forms/Get a
Form,” which will take you to a page with forms. For the gallery,
select “Gallery Jury Application,” and for exhibitions, select
“Exhibition Jury Application.” The direct link is: www.bcpotters.
