ClayHouston is excited to announce that the call for the 2023 ClayHouston Award for Texas BIPOC Ceramic Artists is currently open. We would love for you to help us spread the word to your students, colleagues, and/or friends! Currently, the deadline to submit is February 19, 2024.
This award is dedicated to providing funding for ceramic artists in Texas who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color. ClayHouston has created this award as part of our ongoing efforts to cultivate greater diversity and access in the field of ceramics, with a focus on Texas artists.
ClayHouston will award two individual winners with $1,200 each. One winner will be chosen from each of the following two categories (Please note: Past award winners may not reapply for a period of 3 years.) :
-
Emerging: Self-identifying as a student and/or early career. Must be 18 years or older. Formal training or academic background is not required.
-
Mid-Career and Beyond: Non-Emerging. Self-identifying as mid-career or established. Must be 18 years or older. Formal training or academic background is not required.
