A site 2 see friday – Prairie Excellence

by | Oct 8, 2010 | Uncategorized

From the site:

“Prairie Excellence is a unique and ground-breaking joint project of the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Craft Councils. The competition and exhibition, accompanied by awards, a catalogue, a website, and a multi-province tour, involved several years of idea generation, negotiation, planning, fundraising, administration, shipping and handling, photography, design and other duties by boards, staff and volunteers from all three councils. It entailed the participation of more than 160 craft artists across three provinces. Indeed, there were a few occasions when the entire idea seemed simply too much. But the risk and the work of countless people paid off.”

OPENING *** Friday, October 8 · 7:00pm – 9:30pm

Ceramic artists; Robin Lambert, Carole Epp and Jody Greenman-Barber, challenge our notions of contemporary ceramic based craft practice by merging their individual approaches to making craft.

This exhibition brings together the work of three emerging ceramic artists, all with ties to Saskatchewan, into a “conversation” through their objects about the role of art/craft.
