Salad Days Artist Residency: 2022-23
Deadline: February 15, 2022 Fee (USD): $25.00
Every year, Watershed commissions an artist to create handmade earthenware plates or shallow bowls for our annual Salad Days fundraiser. The celebration draws nearly 500 people to Watershed’s campus, with the plates serving as the event’s primary feature. Salad Days also includes a pottery sale of work by artists from around the country, campus tours, artist demos, and much more.
The Salad Days Artist is selected by a panel of professional artists in consultation with Watershed’s staff. The Artist spends seven months from September to April at Watershed producing 450 plates or shallow bowls for the following summer’s Salad Days. They are also commissioned to create approximately 30 small functional or decorative pieces for Watershed’s sustained giving donors. Work is produced in terracotta and is fired in Watershed’s kilns.
During the residency, the Artist receives free housing, a meal allowance, a large studio, free materials and firings, and a stipend of $4000. Additionally, the Artist has the opportunity to showcase and sell work at Watershed events during their time in residence. Watershed also provides lodging for the Salad Days Artist when they return for the Salad Days event.
The 2022-23 Salad Days Artist residency runs from September 12, 2022 through April 15, 2023, with the Salad Days fundraiser scheduled for the second weekend in July, 2023. Due to the pandemic, Salad Days 2023 may include in-person and online components.

Westobou is now accepting submissions for LUSH, a juried planter & vase exhibition. This exhibition is meant to explore how sculpture and flora intersect, asking the artists to imagine a fantasy ecosystem that not only houses the organic element, but commemorates the beauty and history of it through composition, proximity, and relationship. All ceramic and mixed material artworks, functional and sculptural, are eligible if they can house a live plant and exist in a greenhouse for the duration of the exhibition. We will consider form, concept, and function. We are looking for planters of any kind that push the aesthetic boundaries of the typical planter or vase form. With Westobou’s support, juror’s Sydney Ewerth and Paul Maloney will curate an exhibition of planters to be displayed in a greenhouse at Bedford Greenhouses in Augusta, GA. Bedford Greenhouses will supply the flora that best pairs with each piece accepted into the exhibition.
Exhibition Dates: April 11-23, 2022
Application Due: February 11, 2022

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting its annual juried exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The focus of the exhibit is on the function and concept of the drinking vessel, including its relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility, and narrative. It is a survey of the wide variety of approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel – the cup. Juried by Molly Anne Bishop.
