17th Annual Workhouse Clay International

The Workhouse Arts Center announces the 17th Annual Workhouse Clay International exhibition, inviting ceramic artists of all levels to submit functional or sculptural works for a juried show running from March 6 to May 16, 2027, with a reception on March 13. Submissions are accepted until January 11, 2027 (11:59 PM EST) with a $30 non‑refundable application fee per artist. Eligible artists must be 18 or older, may submit up to three entries, and works must have been produced within the last three years. Size restrictions apply: pieces must fit through a standard door, wall‑mounted works limited to 20 lb per section, and floor works must be stable. Artists are responsible for shipping and insurance; the Center provides return shipping containers and labels. Selected works will be exhibited, and the Center will attempt to sell them, taking a 30 % commission. Prizes include $500 for 1st place, $350 for 2nd, $250 for 3rd, and honorable mentions. The exhibition offers exposure, sales opportunities, and the chance to be featured in the Center’s archives and promotional materials. The call is open to creators worldwide, with a focus on contemporary ceramic practice.
