Applications will be accepted through January 15, 2016. No paper applications will be accepted.
View works from past Small Favors Exhibitions.
Small Favors engages artist’s creativity in new and exciting ways with
the challenge of making pieces on a very small scale. For some artists,
the work they create is similar to what they normally make but at a
reduced scale. Others use it as an opportunity to break away from what
they create in their daily studio practice. Regardless of this choice,
the works exhibited are incredibly varied in material, form, and
aesthetics. Though small in scale the artworks created for this
exhibition are huge in impact. Each work is exhibited in a four-inch
plexiglas wall mounted cube. Small Favors will be on view from March 25 –
May 1, 2016.
Conceived of in 2006, Small Favors grew out The Studio’s efforts to
offer accessible, high-quality artworks that appeal to art enthusiasts
of all ages: for seasoned collectors who are challenged for space it
allows them to continue to collect work by artists they love. For young
art collectors it provides a financially accessible entry point.
It is our sincere hope that offering a juried exhibition of this kind
brings to light new makers and broadens the audience we reach through
the display of these unique works of art.
A complete application consists of the following:
- Personal contact information
- Up to three digital images (.jpeg files) no more than three pieces
maximum. Images must be of works available for inclusion in this
exhibition with no measurement exceeding 3.75”
Corresponding image information: title, medium, size, and date
- $25 Application Fee
To apply please visit our SlideRoom portal.
Notification will be made via email on or before February 1, 2016 with
selected work shipped to arrive at The Clay Studio no later than
February 15, 2016.
Selection Process and Details
All work selected for inclusion in this exhibition must be available for
sale with The Clay Studio receiving a 50% commission for all work sold
and paying for the return shipment of any unsold work providing the work
is being shipped to a US address. The Clay Studio will not cover the
cost of international return shipping. A $20 Surcharge will be added to
the retail price of all selected works to cover the cost of the Small
Favors plexi cube. Email Jennifer Zwilling, Curator of Artistic Programs

NCECA celebrates 50 years of clay, learning and connection in 2016.
To foster a sense of community and show links to how our members connect
people and ceramics, on this occasion, we have invited Michael Strand
and Namita Wiggers to create Across the Table, Across the Land.
Because we also set a gorgeous table in this community, food and the
table serve as a link to bring it all together. NCECA feels that the
table is a literal space – and an idea – and we want to hear your
stories.
To do this, the curators have developed a web app to make it easy to research how NCECA connects Across the Table and Across the Land.
NCECA is calling on you to participate by sharing projects or taking on the K12 Challenge. We invite responses in the form of your images and your words. This is a collection of your stories. All materials entered into the Across the Table web app become part of this celebratory project.
Michael and Namita are developing this online archive to document
what NCECA members are working on right now. From this archive, our
guest curators will create an exhibition for the Charlotte Street
Foundation in Kansas City, Missouri in conjunction with Makers, Mentors and Milestones, the March 2016 NCECA Conference.
