The Tile Heritage Foundation has announced a call for entries for an upcoming annual virtual exhibition and sale, entitled “Art Tile America 2021 – From Sea to Shining Sea.” The event is designed to honor and enhance the visibility of contemporary tilework while benefiting the Tile Heritage Foundation and participating artists.

This national juried exhibition event takes place December 5-31. Serving as jurors for submitted works are nationally-recognized tile designer, fabricator and contemporary tile influencer Brigid O’Connor, and internationally-recognized ceramic artist and educator Alfredo Ratinoff.

The exhibition explores contemporary tile making and ceramic mosaic. The scope of the exhibition includes works interpreting the natural world, social, cultural, personal and family stories. This exhibition will take place in a virtual reality gallery setting.
