Concepts in Clay 

Overview:

The Cape Cod Potters, Inc. and the Cape Cod Museum of Art, 60 Hope Lane, off Route 6A in Dennis, Massachusetts will hold an exhibition "Concepts in Clay" works by the Cape Cod Potters. The show will be juried by Ellen Shankin of Floyd, Virginia, and will open in the fall of 2012.

This exhibition will demonstrate the development and fulfillment of an idea in clay from each exhibitor. The artist's photographs and accompanying written explanation for the body of work will show the conception, evolution and resolution of a single concept in a glaze, form or technique. The collection of work submitted by each artist for review should embody the same concept or theme, and must be recent work produced in the past two years.

The exhibit will open on October 27th, 2012 and will run through January 6th, 2013. There will be a reception on Friday, November 2nd, 2012 from 5:30-7:30pm.

Each potter may submit up to 6 pieces with a statement of not more than 120 words explaining the concept.

Further Criteria:

  • All pieces submitted for consideration must be made by a 2012 member of Cape Cod Potters, Inc.
  • If a piece is accepted into the show, that specific piece must be present at the exhibition; there will be no substitutions allowed.
  • During the exhibit, accepted artwork will not be for sale.
  • If a piece incorporates other materials, the majority of the work must be constructed from clay in order to be considered.


The juror will review works anonymously, and will select the works she feels best embody the theme of the show and that are of the highest caliber. The juror may choose all, some, or none of the pieces submitted by each individual. 

Show applications online will be accepted from April 2nd, 2012 through May 24th, 2012 and selection notification will be started June 22nd, 2012. A non-refundable application fee of $45.00 is required for entry into this show.
