Call for Ceramic Artists - Keystone Kilnwars (Due jan. 18)
Call for Ceramic Artists - Keystone Kilnwars
Deadline: January 18th, 2026
Calling all ceramic artists within a 60 mile radius of Pittsburgh!
Roll up your sleeves and show us your strongest work—we want you to try out for our team for the Keystone Kilnwars!
In collaboration with Ceramics Takeover Wheeling, Keystone Kilnwars is an upcoming juried exhibition where a team of ceramic artists from the Greater Pittsburgh area will go head to head against another team of ceramic artists from Philadelphia. Once works are displayed, the public will vote on their favorites and we hope by the end of the exhibition that Pittsburgh walks away as the Keystone Kilnwars reigning champions! This is a supporting exhibition within the larger Ceramics Takes Over Wheeling event and will be held at the Oglebay Resort from February 27 – April 11.
