SIP: A Ceramic Cup Show is our Community's annual large scale cup show. The exhibition, took place February 17-25, 2017 at Non-Fiction Gallery (1522 Bull St.), featured over 200 functional, handmade ceramic mugs, yunomi and more from clay artists across the nation. Through this exhibition, we hope to show the diversity of a drinking vessel and allow visitors to become owners of hand-crafted ceramics. Proceeds  benefited each artist, and a percentage of all sales were donated to the Emmaus House to help provide nourishment for the hungry in Savannah.

Each vessel in the show was be placed on its own individual shelf on the wall, crediting each piece for what it is–a work of fine art. During the closing reception, took the ceramics from the wall into the hands of the viewer to allow the customer to experience the functional aspect of the pieces. That night, all those who purchased cups or mugs were able to use them to sip tasty beverages and then take the pieces home.
Thank you to our sponsors!!

JURORS

The jurors for SIP know about beverages. We wanted to create a team of folks who not only understand the function and aesthetics of the container, but had a background of what goes into the cup as well. 

Anthony Debreceny

Anthony knows good food and coffee. He is the owner and proprietor of The Collins Quarter in Savannah, which is a coffee-centric café with innovative cuisine. Anthony came to Savannah from Melbourne, Australia in 2011, and sought out a familiar kind of place similar to the coffee bars he loved in his hometown–a friendly hang-out with fresh, locally grown food, an array of artisan coffees, and a sense of community. He's achieved this with The Collins Quarter, which is named for a famous street in Melbourne.

Kimberly Riner

Kim knows good craft. She is the Visual Arts Director for the Averitt Center for the Arts in Statesboro, GA, and received her MFA from Georgia Southern University. She is an educator and is actively involved in growing the art scene in the Statesboro, most recently opening The Roxie Remley Center for Fine Arts. Kim's artwork has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and is held in private collections.

Keith Wallace Smith

​Keith knows good clay. He is a figurative sculptor and educator working primarily in ceramics and cast metal. He received his MFA from The University of Florida and his BS in Art Education from Morgan State University. He is currently the head of the ceramics department at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, GA. Keith’s work employs the use of varied scale, fragmentation and gesture to approach the figure, and he continues to exhibit regionally and nationally.

IMPACT

Creating a community that supports the ceramic arts begins with education. We want guests to not only become familiar with the artists and their artwork, but to ENGAGE with it. In 2017, we introduced over 100 cups into peoples’ hands and homes through the exhibition! This is another step in helping the community answer the pervasive question: What is the role of functional ceramics in present day culture? The use of ceramics helps to define this question in terms of relevance or function in the public’s daily lives, and creates a great milestone for the Savannah Clay Community.

OUR MODEL

Our challenge is to fill the void of exhibition, promotional and event costs without taxing the artists. Our solution is to create a new cycle of giving that begins at the gallery. We ask the surrounding community to support us, so we can support the artists in the show, allowing each artist to be able to give back into our community through a local charity. Through this system, we create a greater channel of support, alleviating a large burden from the artists, who are already giving their time and expense by creating and delivering the work.
