8th Annual Fired Works Regional Ceramics Exhibit & Sale

Macon Arts Alliance is pleased to announce that the 8th Annual Fired Works Regional Ceramics Exhibition and Sale will be held April 13-21, 2013 in the Historic Round Building in Central City Park in downtown Macon. This year’s exhibit will feature 60 Georgia artists and five regional artists from throughout the Southeast.

Fired Works began in 2004 as a local pottery show and has since grown to become the largest exhibit of functional and sculptural pottery in the state of Georgia. In 2011, the exhibit expanded to become a regional exhibit, featuring artists from neighboring states. The growth of the exhibit has helped to solidify Macon as a destination for arts tourism in the region.

The ten-day event, held each year in April, now features many special events, such as Cocktails and Clay, a cocktail party-style clay workshop for adults; free workshops for kids and teens; and the popular Preview Party, where patrons are able to meet and mingle with the many artists in the show. The Preview Party will be held on April 12, the Friday evening before the official Saturday kick off of the exhibit and sale.

State Bank and Trust Company is the presenting sponsor of Fired Works. Media sponsors include: 13WMAZ, Cumulus, The Telegraph, Cox Communications, The 11th Hour and Bright Blue Sky Productions.
