Juror: Judith S. Schwartz, Ph.D., has identified an international movement of artists who use clay confrontationally within the context of what might be called: art activism. This research culminated in the book, Confrontational Ceramics. She lectures internationally to bring ideas and artists together in the service of clay. Her current community service is spent for Watershed, a residency in Maine that supports serious artists to work in clay and the K-12 Foundation for early childhood education in the ceramic arts. She has been a professor for 30 years (Director of Sculpture in Craft Media at New York University) helping young artists reach their potential. She started a Museum for Ceramic Art to open in NYC, and curates numerous exhibitions, some of which have received critical acclaim. She teaches studio courses in ceramic sculpture for undergrad and graduate students. She has received many awards, including the JD Rockefeller III grant in Art Education, the Everson Museum’s award for service and excellence in the field of ceramic education, Honors Award from the National Council on Education in the Ceramic Arts, the Distinguished Service Award from The Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY, and, most recently, a Fullbright (senior specialist category).
