Amarillo Biennial 600: CLAY
6/29/2007 - 8/26/2007

 clay-600-web-graphic.jpg

    The Amarillo Biennial 600: CLAY is an important juried exhibition distinguished among museum biennials.  The Amarillo Museum of Art breaks away from the more conventional biennial format by expanding its geographic region of eligible artists to a 600-mile radius, and by selecting a single medium for each Biennial 600.  AMoA’s Biennial represents artists not only in Amarillo, but artists residing as far away as Phoenix, Denver, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, San Antonio, Santa Fe, and Houston.

 

    By choosing a single medium for each Biennial, our Museum is able to present a greater diversity of works, often at the cutting edge of innovation in the selected medium.  Biennial jurors are considered carefully for their expertise in the chosen medium and their ability to recognize serious and dedicated artists at the forefront of their craft.

    Allow me to express my gratitude to all of the artists who participated in this juried competition.  I wish you much deserved success in your future. You have worked very hard to bring to our community the highest quality art program.  I would also like to thank our Biennial 600: CLAY juror and guest curator, Marilyn A. Zeitlin, Director and Chief Curator of the Arizona State University Art Museum.

My sincere appreciation goes to the staff of the Amarillo Museum of Art, for all of their hard work and dedication to the mission of the Museum.  You are truly the best!

    I would also like to recognize and thank the Amarillo and Panhandle community for their support of AmoA.  Finally, my heartfelt gratitude is extended to Hastings, Inc., Xcel Energy, Texas Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts and the AMoA’s Connoisseur Members for their sponsorship of the Amarillo Biennial 600: CLAY.

Iznik, a town located in northwestern Turkey, is famous for its glazed earthenware pottery with designs of flowers, leaves and fruits. These tiles, flat plates and tankards will demonstrate the height of Iznik pottery making.
