For all of recorded human history, we have created vessels in which to hold water, food, collections of objects, or human remains. These vessels often exist to serve functional purposes, while also decorative with scenes of life and humanity. Vessels have been made of wood, stone, clay, glass, metal, and also paper, fiberglass, etc⦠While the original vessels served functional purposes, we now create non-functional vessels to be admired in form and beauty. Buckham Fine Arts Project welcomes submissions of three dimensional works of vessels, either functional or non-functional, in a wide range of size and materials
Founded in 1984, Buckham Fine Arts Project | Buckham Gallery is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the vision to support and nurture artists, build community and inclusivity, while challenging our audience to engage with contemporary art in new ways. In commitment to our vision to support artists, Buckham Gallery will provide a stipend of $50 to each artist selected for this exhibition to aid in shipping costs. We acknowledge this may not cover all costs associated with the shipment and return of artwork.
The Vessel exhibition will be held September 11 – October 3, 2026 at Buckham Gallery in Flint, MI.

This juried ceramic exhibition invites artists working in clay to share work that reflects the meeting of many voices, ideas, and approaches within contemporary ceramic practice. Clay carries traces of place, memory, culture, and imagination, and in the hands of different artists it becomes something endlessly adaptable. Convergence celebrates the moment where varied perspectives, forms, and materials come together in one shared space. Rather than centering on a single aesthetic or narrative, the exhibition welcomes a broad range of work, allowing unexpected relationships and quiet dialogues to emerge between objects. Through this gathering of ceramic works, the exhibition creates a landscape where difference is not only present, but essential to the beauty of the whole.
