Calls to Artists

The Art League of Lincoln is pleased to announce the 2025 National Feats of Clay National Art Show and Competition.  

ENTRY DEADLINE:  Entry application and payment must be received by Sunday March 30th

The internationally renowned clay competition was founded by local ceramicist Ray Gonzales in 1987 and was held annually through 2011 at the Gladding McBean Clay Factory. In 2024 the exhibit was rekindled regionally, and in 2025 the competition will be national.

The Feats of Clay 2025 National ceramic competition will be showcased at the Art League of Lincoln, 580 Sixth St. Lincoln California from April 25th 2025 – June 29th 2025. 

 An exhibit catalog will be produced, and each accepted artist will receive one. All types of ceramic works are encouraged for submission: sculptural, functional, tiles, vessels, etc. In addition, all types of clay and firing techniques (with a minimum of 50% ceramic clay) will be considered.

Work must be the original work of the artist. Maximum dimensions are 2’ x 2’. We are delighted to have Rhonda Willers, renowned ceramic visual artist, educator, and author, as our juror.
