Our work Vitrify
The Alcorso Foundation congratulate Vitrify 2012 Finalists:
The Alcorso Foundation's national ceramic award, Vitrify
The Vitrify Alcorso Ceramic Award is a $10,000 annual prize for ceramic art. Established in 2011, the award is open to artists nationally and is non-acquisitive.
Four artists are selected from the entries received to develop work for a group exhibition of ceramic art at a commercial gallery. From these four artists, one is selected to receive the prize money. Selection of finalists and the judging of the award is made by a panel of expert judges.
Vitrify is presented by the Alcorso Foundation, a not-for profit cultural organisation with its home in Tasmania.
Vitrify 2012 will be hosted by the JamFactory in Adelaide.
The exhibition of finalists' work will open on Friday, September 7 2012 and continue until October 19 2012.
Judges for the 2012, Professor Noel Frankham, Head of the Hobart School of Art; Prue Venables, highly regarded ceramicist and Creative Director of the Ceramics Studio at the JamFactory; and Robert Reason, Curator of European and Australian Decorative Arts, the Art Gallery of South Australia selected this year's four finalists Julie Bartholemew, Stephen Bird, Neville French and Tania Rollond.
