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’s juror is Peter Pincus.
Juror: Peter Pincus, ceramic artist and instructor living
and working in Rochester, NY.
A total of $1,000 in cash awards, “Best in Show” receives $500!
In addition to the juried show, 5 artists were selected by the juror and invited to be showcased along side the juried work. Invited artists include: Birdie Boone, Chandra Debuse, Mike Helke, Ted Neal, and Adam Posnak
