Accompanying the TABLED exhibition in the adjacent gallery space, HELD deepens the exploration into what nourishes us. Presented on one continuous shelf around the central Rubbo Gallery, HELD features 90 small artworks by members of The Australian Ceramics Association (TACA). 

The works are utilitarian and sculptural objects that lend themselves functionally or narratively to the exhibition title, HELD. The depth and width of each piece is up to 15 x 15cm, and 40cm tall.

HELD; carry, bear, clasp, embrace, hold on to

As both a verb and a past tense HELD may refer to the experience of physically holding an object, the way in which the object holds or is a carrier, or the way in which a memory is manifested. This duality invites both functional and experimental works to be exhibited. 

This exhibition showcases the diversity and excellence of contemporary Australian ceramics, providing 90 TACA members with an opportunity to exhibit, promote and sell their recent works. 

Talks and Events

The official opening event will take place two weeks after the exhibitions open, due to the Clay Gulgong biennale event and Anzac Day.
