ACAD Emerging Artist Booth at New Craft Coalition

The NCC and ACAD have now created a new partnership which invites ACAD students in their third or fourth (final) year of studies, and recent ACAD graduates from the previous year to apply for the ACAD Emerging Artist booth at the semi-annual NCC Show + Sale.  The selected student or recent alumni will receive a fully-paid ACAD Emerging Artist booth at the show and mentorship from NCC in preparation for the show.  With 1400+ people who attend to buy high quality art works, this is an exceptional career development opportunity to gain exposure to a new audience.  It also includes a complimentary membership to the Alberta Craft Council as well as 2 sessions with the ACC Advisory Committee.

In May 2012, ACAD alumni Laura Sharp (Ceramics), Natalie Gerber (Fibre) and Kari Woo (Jewellery and Metals) began the New Craft Coalition as a grass roots venture out of Laura's Calgary Home.
