call for entry: Ninth Annual Cup Show: Form and Function


Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting its annual juried exhibition
that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The focus of the exhibit is on the
function and concept of the drinking vessel, including its relation to history, politics,
craft, technology, utility, and narrative. It is a survey of the wide variety of approaches
to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel,
the cup. This year the exhibit is part of the National Clay Week http://www.nationalclayweek.org/ and will have an “interactive” component, which will take place on October 11.
