Current
The CLAY Festival 2019 Exhibition, Current, will be juried by internationally known artist, Sunshine Cobb.
Current intends to reflect the current culture of contemporary ceramics. The longevity of clay lends itself to modern artwork that may reflect this long history, buck against tradition, embrace ritual, or employ new technologies. Current welcomes all entries that speak to the present state of ceramics. Utilitarian ware and sculptural works are welcome.

The submission entry deadline is May 1st, 2019 at 11:59 PM MDT.
