DEADLINE TOMORROW!!!! – Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery Cup Show

Thirteenth Annual Cup Show: “Form and Function”
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.

the Arts. He has received various jury awards, including the Studio Potter Merit Award. He was featured in the
August 2016 issue of Ceramics Monthly as a contributor to “From Idea to Finished Form”. Currently, he is

UPCOMING NCECA OPPORTUNITY DEADLINES 

2021 ANNUAL EXHIBITION

Deadline, October 7, 2020
The 2021 NCECA Annual will run from February 5- March 28, 2021 at the Weston Art Gallery, Aronoff Center for the Arts in Cincinnati, Ohio. Exhibition Curator Shannon Rae Stratton shares that according to physician’s Vivek H. Murthy and Alice Chen, the corona virus could cause what is being called a “social recession.” They speak about how the longer we go without personal contact, the more social bonds fray and unravel, leading to harmful effects on mood, health, our ability to learn and work, and our overall sense of community. Many artists working in craft value the field for its history of peer-to-peer exchange, mentorship, functionality and proximity to the body. It’s a field that identifies itself with connection and touch, with craft objects – whether functional design or conceptual art – often serving social functions. This call invites artists to consider the tension between together and apart, interdependence, belonging, hospitality and modes of support that allow people to extend themselves with mindfulness and compassion towards each other and to the non-human world. We encourage submissions that deal with collective grief and mourning, rage, empowerment, joy, care and compassion – but all through work grounded in connection, interdependence and the social. Visit https://nceca.net/2021-nceca-annual-social-recession/ to learn more and submit your work.
