Show Description:

The Art League of Lincoln, is rekindling the FEATS OF CLAY Show and Competition in West Placer County, CA. The show legacy celebrates the rich history in clay competitions and was formerly held at Gladding McBean Clay Manufacturing Company in Lincoln, CA. For 2021, this year's Show and Competition will be a scaled-back MINI Version of previous years in the form of a 'Small-Feats of Clay' (no live tour of Gladding McBean) bridging us to a larger venue in years to come. 

This year, we are hosting one INPERSON Show showcased live at the 580 Sixth St. Lincoln Ca, art gallery location.  Showing June 2-26, 2021. This is generated from an open 'Call-to-Artist' FREE to apply, a donation is encouraged, and is a curated show, some pieces may not be eligible, all must be inappropriate for family-oriented art viewing,  see more info below.
