Calling all ceramic artists within a 60 mile radius of Pittsburgh!

Roll up your sleeves and show us your strongest work—we want you to try out for our team for the Keystone Kilnwars!

In collaboration with Ceramics Takeover Wheeling, Keystone Kilnwars is an upcoming juried exhibition where a team of ceramic artists from the Greater Pittsburgh area will go head to head against another team of ceramic artists from Philadelphia. Once works are displayed, the public will vote on their favorites and we hope by the end of the exhibition that Pittsburgh walks away as the Keystone Kilnwars reigning champions! This is a supporting exhibition within the larger Ceramics Takes Over Wheeling event and will be held at the Oglebay Resort from February 27 – April 11.

Application Deadline: All applications must be received no later than Sunday, January 18, 2026. Late applications will not be considered.

This exhibition is sponsored by Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media. Keystone Kilnwars is a supporting exhibition within the larger Ceramics Takes Over Wheeling event in Wheeling.

Other Notes: PCA&M will install the exhibition and also de-install and bring all artworks back to Pittsburgh where each artist can pick-up. This exhibition will be hosted off-site, and PCA&M is not liable for any of the work once displayed in the expected location.
