Exhibitions

Baltimore Clayworks’ exhibitions showcase work from the finest of international, national, and local ceramic artists and range from ceramic sculpture and pottery to installation. Compelling exhibitions display emerging and established artists, become teaching tools to extend our educational purpose, and are free and open to the public. Our rotating exhibitions encourage return visits while offering a forum for critical and theoretical discourse at the intersection between artists and the public.
