Visual artists who express ideas through functional or sculptural modes are invited to submit work. Works intended for the wall, ie; tilework, mosaics, and installations are also encouraged. Multimedia works which are at least 80% ceramic are welcomed. The juror, Bruce Dehnert, will award two artists a grand prize of a week-long show at Atlantic Gallery.
