call for entry: CURRENTS: IMPACT

About the exhibition

As ceramic artists, we are
constantly conscious of our physical impact on clay. Bending, folding,
wedging, throwing, and scoring. Our mark making is immediate and
literal. Through content, use, and integration into society, this
concept can be far more abstract or suggestive. Ceramics artifacts have
chronicled cultural growth, existence and decline. The CURRENTS: IMPACT
is a national juried exhibition of contemporary ceramic artworks that
explore social, conceptual, psychological, and physical notions of the
word impact.

Eligibility

This
show is open to anyone nationwide 18 years of age or older. Submitted
works should be at least 50% clay, and must have been completed within
the past two years.

Entry Procedures

Submissions are made in digital form via email to [email protected]. Entry fees are submitted via post.
Submissions
must include a brief one paragraph statement of how your work relates
to notions of impact, resume, and up to three entries with one detail
image per entry. Entries must be jpg format, 1200 x 800 at 300dpi, no
larger than 3MB. Attached images should be labeled as such:
LastnameFirstnameEntrynumber.jpg. Please add “detail” when necessary.

Works that differ from submitted images beyond acceptable parameters will not be shown.

Application Information

is a non-refundable entry fee of $25 per artist, with a maximum of
