fundraiser: Supporting People of Color in the ceramic arts!
WHO we are:
The Color Network launched in December 2018 with a mission to support people of color (POC) in the ceramic arts. The Color Network highlights opportunities in the field and provides an artist database for teachers and curators to reference, helping them to create more diverse programming and exhibitions. We aim to bring increased visibility and foster cross-generational connections between ceramic artists of color.
WHY donate:
In partnership with our fiscal sponsor, Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, The Color Network was recently awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the development our mentorship program .
Your generous support will enable us to meet both our matching funds requirement for the NEA grant and help support futures expenses associated with our ongoing initiatives, which have included:
• Highlighting POC artists on our website and social media
• Providing artists of color with financial assistance to ship work
• Establishing an emerging curatorial fellowship for people of color
• Curating exhibitions with diverse artist representation
• Providing free portfolio & application reviews to artists of color
• Partnering with community organizations to create scholarships for POC artists
The Color Network is managed by a small group of artist volunteers, and although we’re proud of what has been accomplished in just a few short years (with very limited resources), there’s still much more work to be done. Please help us continue to grow and expand The Color Network’s impact in the ceramics community.
Show your support today by making a tax-deductible donation and/or sharing this fundraising campaign with your network.
THANK YOU!!

NOTE: As we are not currently a nonprofit, all donations will be processed through our fiscal sponsor, Watershed Center For The Ceramic Arts, enabling your contribution to The Color Network to remain tax-deductible.
‘A beacon of change’: new film to celebrate life of ceramicist Clarice Cliff
The following quotes are from the Guardian Article by Dalya Alberge
“She was born into a working-class Staffordshire family in 1899 and was sent to work in the potteries aged just 13 before going on to become one of the country’s most influential ceramicists. Now Clarice Cliff has inspired a feature film that will show how she broke the mould in the pottery industry, revolutionising the workplace and bringing art to the masses with plates, jugs and teapots that were as affordable as they were colourful.”
“With the support of other women in the factory and Shorter, she went on to design her art deco Bizarre range, with abstract, geometric and figural forms. During the Great Depression, she ensured the factory’s survival and her future as one of the greatest art deco designers, becoming one of the first women to launch a line under her own name. She found inspiration in cubism and other artistic styles to create pieces adored by the public for their bright colours, vibrant patterns and innovative shapes, bringing modernity to the kitchen sink.”
“McCarthy said that Cliff, who died in 1972, rewrote the rules of “an entrenched hierarchical world”. “Modelling or designing was never territory where women were represented … at that time, there was a rigid understanding of how a person lived their lives. Particularly for women, the opportunities were very slim. Clarice was a beacon of change,” she said.”
