SAY SOMETHING: Tactile Voices in Clay

Saratoga Clay Art Center's national juried exhibition, Say Something, curated by Philadelphia potter and artist Kevin Snipes, seeks tactile voices in clay. The exhibition features utilitarian works that not only function well in daily lives, but also use decoration, narrative imagery, words, and/or form to give viewers a glimpse into the passionate mind of the maker. Whether quietly stated, in your face, or smoke and mirrors, the works in this exhibition will give an inclusive look at diverse voices in the activation of utilitarian clay. Freedom of speech is respected, but hate speech is not acceptable.

Handcrafted objects play an intimate role in everyday lives as they engage the body directly in the simple act of use. The intimate space between pots and the person using them is an opportunity to engage the mind of the user with your own take on the world. As we go about the process of nourishing, pleasing or honoring our bodies, the containers we use have the ability to contribute, augment and tantalize how we experience our existence.

The exhibition is open to all artists over 18 residing within the United States. Entry fee is $30 per entry for up to 3 works. Applicants must provide a biography, artist statement, and for each work, a title, description (medium/process), dimensions and weight. Applications are accepted online only at www.callforentry.com. Exhibition dates: April 30 - June 11, 2022.
