BIPOC AWARD

ANNUAL AWARD FOR TEXAS BIPOC CERAMIC ARTISTS

This award is dedicated to providing funding for ceramic artists in Texas who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color. ClayHouston has created this award as part of our ongoing efforts to cultivate greater diversity and access in the field of ceramics. In addition to those efforts, we acknowledge the heavy toll of the combined forces of COVID-19, systemic racism, and the economic uncertainty currently facing many BIPOC communities. ClayHouston awards two individual winners with $1,200 each. One winner will be chosen from each of the two categories: Emerging and Mid-Career & Beyond. 

Applications for the 2023 year will be open later this year. Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates from ClayHouston.
