In Bloom

Organized by Scenic City Clay Arts

August 7th: Opening Reception, 5-7PM

Scenic City Clay Arts is now accepting submissions for In Bloom, a ceramic exhibition all about growth, change, and everything that comes with it (the messy parts included).

We’re looking for work that explores personal journeys of becoming and challenges the idea that growth has to be neat, linear, or “perfect.” Think of it like the life cycle of a flower—bud to bloom—but with your own twist on what blooming actually looks like.

This open call is for ALL ceramic and mixed media artists who possess a clear emphasis on ceramics - however, artists from Chattanooga and surrounding areas will be given priority in the selection process.

Applications are open now through July 5, 2026. Learn more and submit your work at sceniccityclayarts.org/events
