International Contemporary Craft Competition & Exhibition

This exhibition celebrates the fine-art qualities of craft materials such as ceramic, fiber, wood, glass, metal and mixed-media in a contemporary competition exhibition.

Each year, approximately 70 works are selected for exhibition, and then ‘best in show’ and ‘best media’ categories are judged to win cash prizes by esteemed jurors at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center.

Recognized as one of the premier craft exhibitions in the country, Materials: Hard + Soft began in 1987 and was originally initiated by area artist Georgia Leach Gough.

DISD High Schools

This annual exhibition celebrates the emerging artistic talents from each of Denton’s four high schools: Guyer, Braswell, Ryan, and Denton High. The collection of work is chosen by art teachers to display the best of the student body’s abilities.

The show will run until April 28th in Gough Gallery at the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center. We encourage everybody to come out and see this amazing show as our newest generation of artists develop their styles and hone their incredible skill.
