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.

Applications for our Ceramic Artist in Residence are closing soon!
PCA&M offers one 8-9 month artist residency in ceramics per program year. This opportunity runs from fall through spring. Our intention with the Ceramic Artist-in-Residence program is to continue to expose our ceramic community (both internal and the greater Pittsburgh area) to fresh new perspectives in technique and discipline within the ceramic arts, in turn also helping to create greater visibility for the participating artist.
Applications are open through May 11th. To learn more and apply, visit pghartsmedia.org/ceramic-residency-program/
A month away! We’re excited to see what you submit this year!
