GALLERY REPORT

We're looking forward to good sales in
December, and also to receiving your
new work. Many thanks to the members
who have volunteered this fall: your
assistance has been very valuable.

The Selections Committee met in late
October to jury the work of nine appli-
cants. We welcome four new members

couver, Stephen Cooke from New

Alberta, and Wilma Young from White
Rock. Thank you to all of those who
made application. If you are planning to
apply for the April ’93 selections, please

AWARDS INFO

Like most of the small businesses in
Canada, the Gallery of B.C. Ceramics is
feeling the ‘recession’. Sales have been
down, costs have been higher, and the
margin in between has shrunk. Nor-
mally, revenue from the Gallery and
revenue from memberships collected by
the Guild allows the Board of Directors
to fulfill its educational mandate. One of
the programmes we have carried out in
the past is to make awards available to
students finishing their second year ata
college or an accredited ceramic pro-
gram. At the same time, we have been
putting money aside, with the eventual
aim of having this money be a self-
sustaining account for the awards pro-
gram.

Unfortunately, due to falling revenues
and low interest rates, the Board has
regretfully decided that the Guild will be
unable to offer the annual awards in
1993. Should the Board achieve its goal
of charitable status, reinstituting the
Olea Davis and David Lambert Annual
Awards program will be a first priority.
