Gallery Show 
 24rd Annual California Clay Competition Exhibit
 
Date:  April 26 – May 24, 2013
Reception:  Friday, April 26, 7:00 to 9 P.M.
 
The Artery has sponsored this popular competition since 1990, timing it with the California Conference for the Advancement of Ceramic Art. California’s best clay artists “strut their stuff” for this eagerly anticipated show. The exhibit will feature 37 works from 33 artists chosen by our juror, Michelle Gregor.  Her figurative sculptures in bronze and ceramic are in private homes, offices, and gardens.  Larger scale architectural works are in such locations as The Spa at Pebble Beach and The Olympic Club in San Francisco. The Artery's own Pat Koszis is one of the chosen artists.
 
The opening reception on April 26 will include the announcement of cash/gift awards totaling over $1500. Award donors are: The Artery; The Association of Clay and Glass Artists in the Greater Bay area, and private donors Pat and Gene Hill; and suppliers: Aftosa of Richmond, Alpha Fired Arts of Sacramento, Ceramics and Craft Supply Company of San Francisco, ClayPeople of Richmond, Clayplanet of Santa Clara, Creative Ceramics and Glass of Santa Rosa, East Bay Clay of Richmond, Industrial Minerals Co. of Sacramento, Laguna Clay of City of Industry, Leslie Ceramics of Berkeley, and Quyle Kilns Clay Company of Murphys.
 
Since the show continues through May, the public has time to view the winners and vote for the People's Choice award. The reception for the 24rd Annual Clay Competition coincides with many clay exhibit openings in Davis that evening.  For more information phone 530-758-8330 or visit www.theartery.net.  The Artery is open 7 days a week, Monday through Thursday: 10-6, Friday evening until 9, Saturday: 10-6 and Sunday: 12-5.
