call for entries: Fifteenth Annual Cup Show: “Form and Function”

by | Oct 18, 2022 | call for entry

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.

Juror
Mike Stumbras makes ceramic vessels that are inspired by 18th and 19th century European production ware. His work is created primarily on the potter’s wheel with the immediacy and individuality attributed to hand processes and alternative firing methods. Mike was born in Chicago, IL. He studied at St. Olaf College (BFA 2007), and Louisiana State University (MFA 2017). He has completed numerous residencies across the country, and is currently Assistant Professor at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Prizes
$100 Best of Show prize will be awarded by the juror.

Eligibility
The exhibition is open to both functional and sculptural work that addresses the idea of “the cup”. Please submit only original work that has been completed in the last three (3) years. Amelia Center Gallery reserves the right to reject any work that is not suitably prepared for exhibition or that differs from the original submission.

Entries and Fees
Please submit your entries online via Smarter Entry at https://client.smarterentry.com/ACG. Each artist may submit up to three (3) images with the following specifications. Images must be saved as JPG, TIF, or PNG files not greater than 2MB. The longest side should be 1,280 pixels or greater. The files should be titled with the artist’s first and last name and entry number (example: SteveSmith1.jpg). All in one word, file names cannot have special characters.
