19th Annual Juried Exhibition "SA Clay"

The Exhibition Committee of the San Antonio Potters Guild is excited to announce the dates for our 19th Annual Juried Exhibition, "SA Clay"! We have a new venue at Darryl Mix's Art SA Gallery and Austin potter, Ryan McKerley, will be this year's Juror. Awards will total $1,000! Artists may drop off their work to Art SA Gallery at 108 E. Mistletoe on Saturday, April 28th, 2012 between the hours of 9 am and 12 pm. We are doing things a little differently this year in that artists will be notified the afternoon of April 30th and unselected work will be available for pick up at the gallery April 30th and May 1st from 4 - 8 pm.

The opening will be Saturday, May 5, 2012 from 5 - 9 pm and the Exhibition will run until June 1, 2012. Unsold work will need to be picked up on June 2, 2012 from 1 - 3 pm.

Please visit our website at www.sanantoniopottersguild.com for more information and to get a copy of this year's prospectus.

We also need volunteers for the day that artwork is delivered to Art Sa Gallery, and for help with food and clean up the night of the opening. This event is always a success because of YOU, the guild members, and I hope to see you all at the opening! Please contact me at cbaniyassin@aol.com if you would like to volunteer to help.

Thank you!

Empty Bowls!

Our annual charity event "Empty Bowls" is about to happen. All year long bowls have been dropped off at Clayworld. Several Bowl-a-thons have happened. Celebrity Bowls work day brought local dignitaries into the world of clay.

 Each year we are amazed at how our artists pull this off. Thanks to our partnership with SAMMinstries, AT&T and our local chefs, we continue to raise money for a good cause.

Check out our press coverage!

Celebrity Bowls

The Guild met up with local celebrities at SAMMinstries on Blanco Road. This was a good way to get a lot of bowls done at one time. John Nelson and Leslie Newton helped our newly inducted potters produce their best work ever! Their work and other celebrities will have their work sold at silent auction on March 4th.
