This year’s juror, Peter Held
Every other year the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts hosts The San Angelo National Ceramic Competition, and this year’s event opens with a reception on Friday, April 20, 2018 from 6 to 9 pm at the museum. It’s a big juried show, and that weekend there’s plenty of ceramic-centric programming in San Angelo, including the 33rd Annual Ceramic Symposium, a ceramic workshop run by Von Venhuizen (the ceramics professor from Texas Tech), a flex-entry ceramic workshop run by featured artist Randy Brodnax (see below), special exhibitions hosted in several San Angelo galleries, open artists studios, and more.
The Competition is co-organized by the Museum, the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Angelo State University, and the Old Chicken Farm Art Center. This year’s juror is Peter Held, a multi-award-winning artist, academic, curator and writer based in Chandler, AZ. He’s chosen the work of around 100 artists for this year’s Competition. For a list of artists, go here.
Also, via the Museum: “For each San Angelo National Ceramic Competition, a noted ceramic artist is asked to display a small focus exhibit, which highlights the artist’s work, within the larger competition. This year SAMFA is pleased to have veteran ceramicist Randy Brodnax of Elmer, Louisiana, as our Invited Artist.”
