The Yukon Art Society is applying for Canada Council funding to host a Ceramic Symposium next summer/fall, and we want your input!

Process is progress. Our August exhibition celebrates the early stages. We want to see your ideas before they’re fully realized, so show us your starting lines.

We’re talking shapes scrawled on diner napkins, ideas scribbled on the backs of envelopes, landscapes spread out across the pages of your moleskines. We want maquettes and studies and sketches and rough stuff!

This show isn’t about the final product. It’s about the process of getting there.

The deadline to submit work for “rough stuff - the sketches show” is Saturday, July 29.

This exhibition will be on view from August 4 - 26 in the Edge Gallery with an opening exhibition on Friday, August 4 from 5pm - 7pm.

Please note that the work from this exhibition will not be for sale.
