Building on the success
of over 30 previous clay exhibitions, FAC is pleased to announce the
official call to artists for our 2016 Mountain Standard Clay. This
exhibition replaces Foothills Art Center’s longstanding biennial
exhibition, Colorado Clay. Included in this exhibition will be artists
all who hail from the Mountain Standard Time Zone states. FAC’s goal is
to showcase clay in a way that goes well beyond functional objects and
into the realm of fine art with this exhibition. FAC has invited several
highly accomplished artists who are truly doing exciting and new things
with clay to participate in the exhibition. The invited artists
confirmed so far include Claire McArdle (CO) and Samuel Chung (MT). The
remaining objects will be selected by juror, Peter Held. Artists may
enter up to 3 objects, each to be judged for inclusion in the
exhibition.

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a
juried exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The exhibition
will focus on the function and concept of the drinking vessel – including its
relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility, and narrative. The
exhibition will be a survey of the wide variety of approaches to contemporary
ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel – the cup.
Juror
Born in Montreal, Canada, Martina Lantin received her Bachelor of Art from Earlham College (1996) and her Master of Fine Art from NSCAD University (2009). She has completed residencies at Baltimore Clayworks and Arrowmont School of Art and Craft, and the Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts and taught workshops throughout the United States. Currently, Martina teaches at the Alberta College of Art and Design. Selected as an Emerging Artist by Ceramics Monthly her work has been recognized in numerous juried and invitational exhibitions. Martina has also published articles in both Studio Potter and Pottery Making Illustrated and was the subject of a feature article in Ceramics Monthly in February, 2014. Committed to the joys of working in earthenware, Martina creates functional ceramics through thrown and altered forms. The thin layer of white slip serves to accentuate the construction methods and to invite an exploration of the making process.
