At
its core, Medalta’s residency program is about bringing artists together
in an environment that promotes creativity through community. The
residency concept creates an opportunity for ceramists – who, for the
most part, work individually – to re-enter a community atmosphere and
take part in a rejuvenating dialogue, while working with like-minded
artists. Our program seeks to benefit artists at all stages of their
career, from students, to established artists. Each resident brings a
wide variety of technical and aesthetic skills to the experience.

2014 FLEX @ Medalta
No, this isn’t some kind of Atlas Gym-sponsored weightlifting competition …
If you aren’t able to take a year for a residency and our summer
residencies don’t fit your schedule or you have a special project you
want to focus son, our Flex Residencies are probably what you’re looking
for.
The idea is pretty simple – if you have an idea and simply need the
space to create (whether it’s for two months or eleven), apply for a
Flex Residency and come create at Medalta.
$475/month (CAD)

Summer 2014 @ Medalta
What are you doing this July and August? Another great short-term

Hat.
Whether you’re a student, professional or anyone who wants to further
explore your ceramic art practice, this two-month residency is a great
opportunity to fully immerse yourself in ideas and process.

1st Medalta International Spoon Competition
 |
| Aaron Nelson |
Maybe it was something in the air at Medalta lately, what with the 1st International Cup show opening and all. But while I was visiting earlier this month, Vipoo Srivilasa who was there for a residency drummed up the idea to put together an International Spoon Competition as well. September saw a new batch of year long residents taking over the studio as well as a number of artists from South East Asia coming over for a visit and a brief month long residency with Vipoo. The energy in the studio was inspiring. So many new artists getting settled in and starting to work and the spoon competition was the perfect thing to get the kilns firing and the creative ideas flowing. Sometimes all it takes is a little something out of the ordinary day to day of your studio practice to open up some new perspectives and ideas. Returning later in the month I saw how this friendly competition really brought the artists together (well that and all the amazing shared meals they created).
So I here by present to you the spoons in the competition. Each is a thing of beauty and interestingly speaks to each artist’s larger art practice. The winner of the competition (judged by those participating) was Teo Huey Min’s lovely spoon. Congrats to you!
But I’m curious…which is your favorite?

How about a residency @ Medalta?
Medalta Residency Deadline – APRIL 15
Time’s running out – if you’re thinking of applying
for a Residency at Medalta, our deadline is approaching! We have a great
lineup of short and long-term opportunities available for you. To
apply, fill out our residency application form and submit your package
by April 15.
Reminder – Medalta deadline this weekend
“Our deadline to receive applications for our summer and long-term residencies is April 15th.
We are expecting a lot of applications this year, and word is they are coming from several different continents, but the good news is that there are now more opportunities as well. We are offering three one-month residencies this summer, in June, July and August.
One month may not seem like much time to get stuff done, but the energy level in the studio is extremely high and resident artists balance all of their hard work with potlucks, field trips, impromptu collaborations, and maybe even a cold beverage on occasion. Our eight year-long artists will show you the ropes as they prepare for their final exhibitions this summer.
In addition to our short-term residencies we are also taking applications for 6 full-year residents. Imagine, a full year in our studios to pursue your studio practice!
All of this takes place among the beehive kilns, a restored 1912 stoneware factory, a museum, decommissioned factories, and a brand new 12,000 sq. ft. ceramic studio.
And all this takes place in Canada!
Sounds good Eh?!
Here’s all our Application Info. See you soon!”
