Juried this year by ceramic artist Jennifer Allen, “Geaux Cups” is an annual juried group exhibition of ceramic drinking vessels. The show’s title spoofs New Orleans’ infamous plastic “go-cups”—essential for wetting one’s whistle while wandering its 300-year-old streets.
Opening Reception
First Friday, February 1, 2019, 6 - 8 pm
Drinks, snacks, great art and king cake!
About the Juror
Jennifer Allen is a studio potter based in Morgantown, West Virginia. Determined to keep “handmade” as an essential part of the contemporary home, her ongoing focus is to reinforce personal sentiments of beauty, joy, nourishment and celebration through porcelain tableware.
From 1998 to 2002, Jennifer worked as a production assistant to Kris Bliss at Bliss Pottery in Anchorage, Alaska. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree from the University of Alaska, Anchorage in 2002, and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree from Indiana University, Bloomington in 2006.
In March 2008, the National Council for the Education of Ceramic Arts (NCECA) recognized Jennifer as an “Emerging Artist.” She was also the recipient of the 2006/2007 Taunt Fellowship at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. In addition to keeping a home studio, Jennifer teaches ceramic classes at West Virginia University and travels throughout the United States and Canada teaching workshops at such venues as Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts, Touchstone Center for Crafts, and Pinecroft Centre for the Arts.
