The Arizona State
University Art Museum’s Ceramics Research Center, in an effort to define
the front edge of experimental ceramic work, is looking for limited
submissions for the exhibition Midstream: New Ceramics from the
Heartland.
Artists in the Midwestern region of the U.S. can submit up to 5 low

Illinois,
Indiana,
Iowa,
Kansas,
Michigan,
Minnesota,

Midstream
will uncover the work of 5-7 artists or artist collectives that are
defining a new generation of clay workers reflecting the dominance in the
contemporary art world of artists from diverse backgrounds working with
new issues of identity. We are soliciting work that is bold in its
commentary on global concerns and move to a broader examination of our
humanity through humor, fantasy or direct honesty.
We are seeking artists that create with clay/mixed-media in a wide range
of approaches: installation, performative, participatory or industrial.
Stipends for shipping costs are available.
Please submit via email only
by May 23rd to:

The
Ceramics Research Center was awarded the 2007 CLAY Award from the
