The Art League of Lincoln is pleased to announce the 2026 National Feats of Clay National Art Show and Competition. The internationally renowned clay competition was founded by local Ceramicist, Ray Gonzales, in 1987 and was held annually through 2011 at the Gladding, McBean Clay Factory in Lincoln, CA. In 2024 the exhibit returned regionally, and since has been a national competition.
