Me, Myself and I

The Clay Art Center's 2018 gallery year will feature "4 Degrees of Separation," a series of four exhibitions featuring artists whose works examine the intricacies of maneuvering life, lifestyles and living within a global society with its political and social ramifications. "Me, Myself and I" is the opening exhibition of this series, followed by "THEM, US" and "ALL." The Clay Art Center is committed to exhibiting emerging, mid-career, and established artists as a platform for the field to express potent ideas and relevant topics of our time.

This open juried show invites artists to submit vessel-based work that explores issues surrounding identity. Artists are asked to consider who we are and how we see ourselves within the context of society, family, relationships, and within our own skin. The exhibit seeks submissions from artists who use vessel-based art to explore concepts around self, experiences, and the triumphs and challenges faced in daily living or one's place in society. This national call for entries will be juried by Kathy King, a renowned artist and educator, along with invited kindred artists Mark Burns, Cheyenne Rudolph, Beth Lo, and Matt Nolen.

Kathy King is currently a studio artist in the Boston area and serves as Instructor and Director of Education at the Ceramics Program – Office for the Arts at Harvard in Allston, MA, and is Visiting Faculty at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. She has given workshops and lectures at over fifty colleges, schools and art centers throughout the USA. Entry fee is $25.00. Submissions must include 1-3 images. The entry deadline is September 22, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. MDT.
