call for entry: Convergence, a juried ceramic exhibition through Clay Festival 2026.

by | Apr 28, 2026 | call for entry

 

This juried ceramic exhibition invites artists working in clay to share work that reflects the meeting of many voices, ideas, and approaches within contemporary ceramic practice. Clay carries traces of place, memory, culture, and imagination, and in the hands of different artists it becomes something endlessly adaptable. Convergence celebrates the moment where varied perspectives, forms, and materials come together in one shared space. Rather than centering on a single aesthetic or narrative, the exhibition welcomes a broad range of work, allowing unexpected relationships and quiet dialogues to emerge between objects. Through this gathering of ceramic works, the exhibition creates a landscape where difference is not only present, but essential to the beauty of the whole.

Jurors: Bradley Klem, Stephanie Seguin, Penelope Van Grinsven
