The Emotional Animal

Clay Art Center announces a call for entry to "The Emotional Animal," a national juried exhibition curated by California artist Crystal Morey. Submissions of sculptural works will be judged on the capacity to express human emotion using animal imagery. Artwork medium should primarily be ceramic. The exhibition is part of Clay Art Center's 2019 year-long focus on Animal Instinct, which includes exhibitions, community arts programming, and symposia.

Guest curator Crystal Morey states: "From the beginning of human expression we have found emotional connection and understanding in the world through the animals around us. We see this narrative from early cave painting to animation, primal hunting to genetic engineering, from fierce predators to domestic companions. This theme invites an exploration of the animal kingdom through the artistic voices of today, as an expression of instinct, contemplation, and emotion in our collective experience."

Works will be displayed at Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY from July 27 – September 14, 2019. Entry fee is $20.00. Submissions should include 1-3 images. Deadline to apply is April 8, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. MDT. Clay Art Center is located at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573.
