2012 SAC Artist Awards




ABOUT THE SAC ARTIST AWARDS


Initiated in 1994, the Artist Awards encourage and support the work of New England craft artists who demonstrate a mastery of their media and create original and innovative work. A panel of jurors will select three artists to receive a $3,000 cash award; winners will participate in a group exhibition at SAC's Newbury Street gallery from April to June 2012. One of the three awards is funded by the John D. Mineck Foundation and earmarked for a furniture maker.

ELIGIBILITY

The awards are open to craft artists working in clay, fiber, glass, metal, wood, or mixed media. Artists must reside in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island or Vermont). Proof of residency will be required from each award winner. Students enrolled in a full-time art study program and past SAC Artist Awards recipients are not eligible.

JURORS

Applications are reviewed by a three-member jury of professionals from the craft community. 2012 Jurors were:
•  Gail Fredell - Studio Furniture Artist, Educator and Arts Administrator. Based in Asheville, NC.
•  Jeff Guido - Artistic Director at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
•  Heather White van Stolk - Jeweler and Associate Professor of Art at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
