Be sure to read more detailed information on the Jury Process!

Twice a year, the ACGA reviews applications from California clay and glass artists for lifetime eligibility to exhibit at our annual ACGA Clay & Glass Festival in Palo Alto, one of the largest and most prestigious craft festivals in the US. Artists submit images of their work, artist statements, and bios and are carefully reviewed by a jury of seasoned Festival artists, scored on design, craftsmanship, and personal vision. It is a rigorous review and the artists selected are exceptional.

Look for these artists at our 2025 ACGA Clay & Glass Festival in Palo Alto, July 12-13.
