Update on BC-in-a-Box 3: The Edge of Here 2) 4m Gogary

It's hard to believe but May has arrived and the deadline for your
submission to the PGBC juried members’ exhibition The Edge of Here
is fast approaching. Submissions can be made online any time between
May 15 and June 1. No online submissions will be accepted after that
date. To access the form, go to the Guild website at http://bcpotters.
com/Guild, click on "What's On/Calls for Entry,” and scroll down
the description of the exhibition to "Submission." The page gives
you all the information you might need for planning and submitting
your work, including a discussion of the theme, the venues, the
size, eligibility and the jury fee. As described, there are two ways to
submit—online or by mail. The online form will be accessible May 15.
It's extremely easy to fill out and submit online. In addition to your
personal information and information on your entry, you will be asked
to describe in 50 words or less how your piece addresses the theme of
The Edge of Here. The theme is so open to personal interpretation that
we know we will get some very interesting points of view, which we
will use in promotional material accompanying the exhibition. You

can submit up to two images of your work, and you will be able to
pay the jury fee of $25 using PayPal. Now, if you still would prefer to
submit by mail, there will be a printable form on the site, which you
can fill out online, print out, and mail to the gallery along with your
images on a CD disk and the entry fee. If you plan to submit by mail,
please email me at gogarty@telusplanet.net. The submission must be
postmarked by June 1, but as we all know the mail can take some time,
letting me know your submission is coming will help me track it.

We have secured two prominent ceramists and educators to serve
as our jurors, and we know they are looking forward to seeing the
submissions. Remember, all participants must be paid-up members of
the PGBC. This exhibition is part of an exchange with Alberta Potters.
Their exhibition, Wide Open, will travel to Comox in October and
to our Gallery of BC Ceramics in November 2011. We are looking
forward to showcasing our great B.C. potters in Alberta and to seeing
their work here.

Happy potting!
