Deadline Feb. 13, 2010
The Artery, home of the Artists’ Cooperative of Davis, announces a call to artists for the 2010 California Clay Competition. The Artery has sponsored the Competition since 1990 to give California ceramic artists an opportunity to display their work during the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art.
The competition is open to all California residents. Works accepted must be for sale, available for the duration of the exhibit, and made within the last two years.
This year’s juror is SJSU Professor Stan Welsh. Mr. Welsh holds a MFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Alfred, NY. Currently, he is professor in Spatial/Ceramics at San Jose State University in San Jose, CA. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows and his work can be found in many collections.
Artworks must be made of clay; or mixed media, with clay being the major emphasis of the work. Functional as well as sculptural forms are solicited. The work must fit through a standard door-frame and weigh no more than can be easily handled by two people. Wall pieces should be ready to hang using wire and/or cleats. Space is limited; approximately 35 works will be accepted from an expected 400 entries. Monetary and gift awards will be announced at the opening reception. Entry fee.
