Scenic City Clay Arts invites ceramic artists to submit work for In Bloom, an exhibition exploring one’s personal journey to embracing the labor of growth. This show seeks ceramic work that challenges the narrative that development is linear and encourages an exploration of how the push and pull of societal obstacles serve as reflection points.
This exhibition draws inspiration from the life cycle of a flower: from bud to bloom. Blooming does not demand flourishing; it suggests a new beginning–trusting that a quiet transformation carries the same weight as an exuberant renaissance.
