August 1st

Off Center: An International Ceramic Competition. Blue Line Arts’ annual competition highlights more than 70 works of art created by some of the world’s finest ceramic artists. Challenging preconceived notions of form, function, utility, and ornament, several works in the show—Japanese-inspired tea bowls, portraits of world leaders, and biomorphic sculptures—combine identifiable objects with abstracted elements. Juried winners will be announced on August 20 during an Opening Reception from 4-8 p.m. The gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. or by appointment. bluelinearts.org
