This exhibition is a call for ceramic artwork that explores the concept of Perception—how we see, interpret, and interact with the world around us.
All types of ceramic work are welcome.
The exhibition will be juried anonymously through the submission of digital images.
Perception invites ceramic artists to submit work that delves into this idea, examining personal, cultural, and sensory interpretations of their environment and experiences.
