It’s time again for the 18th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition hosted by the San Angelo Museum of Fine Art. Over 1,000 artists entered pieces in this nationally respected show, but only 105 pieces made the cut. Sherman Hall, Editor of Ceramics Monthly, was the primary juror.

Two of our students, as well as Dennis Smith, Chair of Ceramics, were accepted into this year’s Competition.  The students are Sara Boyd and Miguel Abugattas (Miguel is a previous Certificate student and Sara will finish her certificate  this semester).

Mary Fischer and Ryan McKerly, two of our former adjunct faculty members, were accepted into the show.

The opening reception for the competition will be at SAMFA on April 16 from 6-9 pm.
