I have the great pleasure of jurying the sixth installment of Gulf Coast State College's annual cup show. If you are a cup maker, sculptor or a conceptual artist using clay I encourage you to enter this exhibition. I have copied a few of the application details below. You can click here to download the full prospectus. I am already looking forward to seeing all the great cup forms that artists will submit to the show. The deadline for applications is September 20th but don't wait, you can apply today by clicking here.

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a juried exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The exhibition will focus on the function and concept of the drinking vessel; including its relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility, and narrative. The goal is to offer a survey of the wide array of approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.

Eligibility 

The exhibition is open to both functional and sculptural work that addresses the idea of “the cup”. Please submit only original work that has been completed in the last three (3) years.
