Today’s eye candy is a sad one as I’ve just received word that Janet Mansfield has passed away. A kind and generous spirit that I was blessed enough to meet in my travels. Her impact on our community will be long felt and her stunning artwork will inspire for generations to come.

An Invitational and Juried Exhibition
The Clay Studio Is now accepting applications for Small Favors VIII,
an invitational and juried exhibition of diminutive works, each piece
exhibited less than 4”Length, 4”Width, and 4”Height. Online
applications will be accepted through March 31st, 2013. No paper
applications will be accepted.
View works from past Small Favors Exhibitions.
Small Favors challenges and engages artist’s creativity in new
and exciting ways with the challenge of making pieces for this
exhibition. For some artists, the work they create is similar to what
they normally make although at a reduced scale. Others use it as an
opportunity to break away from what they create in their daily studio
practice. Regardless of this choice, the works exhibited are incredibly
varied in material, form, and aesthetics. Though small in scale the
artworks created for this exhibition are huge in impact. Each work is
exhibited in a Plexiglas wall mounted cube.
Conceived of in 2006, Small Favors grew out The Studio’s
efforts to offer accessible, high-quality artworks that appeal to art
enthusiasts of all ages: for older collectors who are challenged for
space it allows them to continue to collect work by artists they love.
For young art collectors it provides an accessible entry point.
For the first time, The Clay Studio is putting out a call for entries
and accepting applications for this annual exhibition that has, up until
this point, been an invitation only show. It is our sincere hope that
this new process brings to light new makers and broadens the audience
we reach through the display of these unique works of art.
Follow this link to apply online
We will need
- Personal contact = information
- Up to three digital images (.jpeg files) no more than three pieces maximum. Images must be of works available for inclusion in this exhibition with no measurement exceeding 3.75”
- Corresponding image information: title, medium, size, and date
- Your current resume (optional)
- Your current artist statement (optional)
- $25 Application Fee
NOTIFICATION WILL BE MADE VIA EMAIL by APRIL 3, 2013 WITH
SELECTED WORK SHIPPED TO ARRIVE AT THE CLAY STUDIO NO LATER THAN APRIL
20TH, 2013.
Selection Process
A three-person jury will select the works for this exhibition, the jurors announced shortly. All work selected for inclusion in this exhibition must be available for sale
with The Clay Studio receiving a 50% commission for all work sold and
paying for the return shipment of any unsold work. A $20 Surcharge will
be added to the retail price of all selected works to cover the cost of
the Small Favors plexi cube. Please call Artistic Director Jeff Guido at 215.925.3453 x18 or email [email protected] if you have any further questions.
