MudFire Gallery is pleased to present "Put A Lid On It", a juried exhibition and sale of works executed primarily in clay with removable lids, such as boxes, jars, pourers, teapots, and more.
The exhibit opens on Saturday, May 12, with a reception from 5 to 9 pm. Admission is free. Works will be exhibited through June 9, 2007.

Despite Pandora's lackluster success with "the box", several thousand years later, the lidded vessel continues to captivate. Perhaps it is the anticipation of treasures hiding within. Or perhaps it is the lid itself that begs to be picked up and handled. MudFire Gallery explores this ageless vessel with a juried show and sale that recognizes the artistry and mystique of the closed container. The work of over 75 artists from around the nation will be presented.
The exhibit includes work selected by three processes for a huge diversity of form and finish. A national call for artists was placed in various media with the resulting submissions juried by the MudFire selection committee. In a separate jury process, the 140+ artists of MudFire Clayworks submitted new work that was juried by a panel of teaching assistants. The show also includes an invitational component, with several dozen artists invited to participate by gallery curator Erik Haagensen.
In each of these three categories, a $100 Curator's Choice Prize will be awarded. The winning pieces will be photographed and posted to the website after opening night.
