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
WHERE: Light Art Space
209 West Broadway, Silver City, NM 88061 https://lightartspace.com/
WHEN: June 4 – 20, 2026
Submission deadline: May 10, 2026 11:59 MST

Exploring residency options for the upcoming year? We want to see your work!
📸: 2024-25 Resident Artist @davidkwakpottery
Our Artist in Residence program is open to qualified clay artists looking to enhance their knowledge and experience in a working studio environment. Residents are expected to work to develop a strong and cohesive body of work, have a visible presence in the studio and interact with members of the clay community and the public. This year-long adventure starts on September 1 and continues through August 31.
We also have a 3-month Summer Residency opening, running June 1 – August 31. Our summer resident will have the opportunity to assist or teach in our summer kids & clay camp programs while developing their voice as an artist and being part of a dynamic ceramic community.
Deadline for both opportunities: May 1.
