Call for Colorado Ceramic Sculptors
Exhibition Opportunity - Free to apply
Application Deadline: Nov. 15, 11:59pm
Exhibition Dates: Jan. 14 – March 14, 2027

This group exhibition brings together Colorado artists exploring hand-built sculpture, with clay as the dominant material and mixed media welcomed when it expands the sculptural vision. In an increasingly digital world, hand-building offers a tactile, embodied approach to making, highlighting diverse forms, processes, and personal narratives that explore identity, resilience, environment, memory, and human connection. The exhibition welcomes artists of all races, ethnicities, sexes, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, backgrounds, and experience levels, with particular encouragement for LGBTQ+ artists and those from historically underrepresented communities. Through this inclusive gathering, the exhibition seeks to reflect Colorado’s diverse creative community and foster meaningful exchange among artists and audiences. Applying is free, selected artists will be required to pay a $10 participation fee. For more information, please visit the website page.
