Clay & Context is a national juried show for all you Americans out there.
Entry Deadeline is October 31st, show runs January 15 to February 6, 2009.
From their website:
“Clay & Context looks to draw new attention to clay as material with fresh significance in contemporary studio practices, while acknowledging the historical foundation from which it evolved. Whether the media takes on a utilitarian or non-functional form, the playing field has never been so level. We encourage submissions to address the vast scope of ceramic art being created in today’s context in hopes of an exhibition of exemplary works reflecting the personal vocabulary of the individual artists creating in our present cultural climate.”
Juried by Sherman Hall the editor of Ceramics Monthly.
