Envision Woodfire NC 2020 International Juried Student Exhibition

The 2020 Woodfire NC conference student juried exhibition is an opportunity to widen the scope of exhibitions and give all contributors to the wood-fire ceramic community a chance to be celebrated. This exhibition is open to all wood-fire ceramic artists that consider themselves a student of their practice. You do not have to have an official affiliation to an educational institution to apply. Submission eligibility includes those who are currently in a stage of learning their art and craft on any continent, including studio assistants, apprenticeships, post-baccalaureates, internships, and artist in residency programs.

Each artist may submit up to three single pieces of work for consideration with up to three photos maximum to portray those works. All works must be primarily ceramic. Mixed media works will be accepted only when clay is the dominant material. The entry fee is $25.00. Work that is juried into the show will be due at STARworks by March 31st. The exhibition will run April 15th, 2020 through May 31st, 2020.

The exhibition will be juried by John Neely, Professor of Art in Ceramics at Utah State University, and Priscilla Mouritzen, a South African-born ceramic artist who has lived and worked in Denmark for the past 35 years. Three finalists will be selected and distinguished as Third Place, Second Place, and Best in Show, each receiving a prize: $600 for First Place, $300 for Second Place, and $100 for Third Place. Recipients of awards will be notified by end of March 2020. Awarded artists will be acknowledged in the exhibition signage and main conference program.
