$10,000 Awards for Emerging Ceramic and Glass Artists!
The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery is calling for submissions to the 2014 RBC Award for Glass and Winifred Shantz Award for Ceramics.
These prestigious national awards allow practicing early career ceramic and glass artists to undertake a period of independent research, or other activities that advance their artistic and professional practice at a key moment in their careers. Award winners receive $10,000; a second prize of $1,000 is also granted. The Selection Committee is comprised of respected contemporary glass and ceramic artists (both sculptural and functional) and other arts professionals. Winners will be announced and the awards presented at a gala event in Waterloo Ontario on November 22, 2014.
To be eligible for the Winifred Shantz Award for Ceramics or the RBC Award for Glass, artists must be Canadian citizens or have Permanent Resident status. They must have developed skills through training and/or practice in the field (not necessarily in academic institutions) and be recognized by other artists working in the same artistic tradition. All applicants have maintained an independent professional practice for no more than 10 years prior to their application.
