SIP is Savannah Clay Community’s annual juried cup exhibition in Savannah, GA, and features approximately 200 functional ceramic drinking vessels from across the country. Through this exhibition, we hope to show the diversity of a drinking vessel and explore the dichotomy between the cup as art and the cup as a container. This is another step in helping the community answer the pervasive question: What is the role of functional ceramics in present day culture?
Juried by Artaxis member Adrienne Eliades
The use of ceramics helps to define this question in terms of relevance or function in the public’s daily lives, and creates a great annual milestone for the Savannah Clay Community. Each vessel in the show will be placed on its own individual shelf on the wall, crediting each piece for what it is–a work of fine art. During the closing reception, we will take the ceramics from the wall into the hands of the viewer to allow the customer to experience the functional aspect of the pieces.
10% of sales from the show are donated to the Craft Emergency Relief Fund, 80% goes to the artist supporting our mission to support ceramic artists.
