    Description

    Northern Michigan artists are invited to submit original works of art for the juried exhibition, CLAY in SPACE. Crooked Tree Arts Center-Traverse City is partnering with Traverse City’s ClaySpace to present this juried exhibition of contemporary clay and ceramic artwork. CLAY in SPACE aims to showcase the breadth of clay work being created throughout Northern Michigan today. Functional and non-functional works are welcome. The exhibition will explore not only outstanding examples of ceramics, but will encourage visitors to consider the way we engage with clay in our lives, including natural environments, our homes, gallery spaces, and art studios. 

    $1000 in prizes will be awarded.
