The Edge of Here in Medicine Hat

BC-in-a-Box: The Edge of Here is on display in Medicine Hat, Alberta until October 26. It looks just great in the gallery, and it seems as if quite a few people are getting a chance to see it. These pictures came from Louise Cormier, who is one of the organizers of the Alberta show Wide Open. I had to crop a few close to the boxes as I didn't have permission from the people in the pictures, but they were certainly looking closely at the show. It's a beautiful gallery. The last three close-ups are of works by Glenys Marshall-Inman, Gillian MacMillan and Sheri Ukrainetz. Just above that, on the table with four works, you can just make out works by Nora Vaillant, Amy Gogarty, Danny Kostyshin and Chris Heywood. Be sure to check out the on-line catalogue that is on the Potters Guild of BC website for information and images of all the works.

"Wide Open" in Courtenay

The Alberta Potters Association exhibition Alberta In A Box: Wide Open has opened very wide in Courtenay, BC at the Comox Valley Art Gallery. It will be on display from October 1 to November 5, at which time it will travel to Vancouver to be in the Gallery of BC Ceramics from November 12 to December 1. For more information on the show, please see our earlier post for August 29. These pictures come to us courtesy of the curator of the Comox Valley Art Gallery, Anh Le. What a lovely job the gallery did setting up the show! We hope our members on Vancouver Island will have a chance to view the exhibition and to introduce family and friends to ceramics from "the other side of the mountains."

On another note, both the APA exhibition and BC-in-a-Box: The Edge of Here are now scheduled to be shown at Medalta in Medicine Hat in January and February 2012. It will be great to have both shows together!
