CALL FOR ENTRY OVERVIEW:

delecTABLE: The Fine Art of Dining: A juried exhibit dedicated to the presentation of functional ceramics, focusing on the fine art of dining, to include serving vessels, place settings, platters and dinner table décor. Proceeds from the sale of work, and associated events that will showcase the work, will benefit the Art Students League of Denver and its ceramics program.

Submission Requirements

  • Enter up to 3 digital images and 3 detail shots of functional pieces that could be included at a dinner table, i.e. place settings, serving vessels and platters, functional sets, or dinner table décor (vases, candle holders, etc.). Please note that all images submitted may be used for publicity purposes, provided that the image is high resolution.
  • Work submitted must be innovative and original in design and must be a personal expression of the artist’s intent.
  • Work submitted through the application process must be the actual work that will be displayed during the exhibit. The juror will select work on this basis. No more than two place settings are accepted as part of one of the submissions. When submitting images of place settings, you may submit a photo of one of the sets, if representational of both settings. (Please contact Griffin Callahan for clarification).
  • Works must be made majorly out of ceramic materials (roughly 75%, at the discretion of ASLD).
  • Work submitted for review must have been completed by the artist within the past three (3) years and not shown previously at delecTABLE.
  • Size restrictions: each piece or set may not exceed 30 inches in any dimension or 20 pounds in weight.
