Artists may submit one artwork only. Works must be conceived for public space installation and primarily made of ceramic or terracotta.

Ceramics Open Call: WILD CLAY

The Taplin Gallery at the Arts Council of Princeton is pleased to announce a CALL FOR ENTRY to "WILD CLAY", guest curated and juried by artists John Reinking and Marg Diaz.

"Wild clay" refers to clay that is not commercially available, but instead has been personally sourced from the earth. It must be discovered, dug, used in its raw state - or sometimes, refined - and then tested. Unlike commercially processed clay, wild clay enables the maker to tap into the unique characteristics of a specific place — its colors, textures, and material properties — revealing the distinct identity of the local landscape.

Ceramics Residency Ivica Sveta Open Call

Art Residency Ivica Sveta offers a space for uninterrupted artistic work, 65 km from Belgrade, in the quiet village of Samoš. Set on the grounds of a renovated old farm, the residency includes two houses, outbuildings, a courtyard, and a garden — ample space for creation without distraction. The village itself is calm and welcoming, with a slow, unhurried rhythm. After dark, it becomes completely still, providing the ideal environment for reflection, experimentation, and focus.
