Guest Judge
Members’ Show 2025 awards will be selected by guest judge Matthew Drennan Wicks. Wicks has been nationally and internationally recognized for his ceramic and non-ceramic-based sculpture. His work discusses a process-based exploration of traditional craft in a contemporary context that highlights specific domestic materials, the collapsing of historical stereotypes, and the intrinsic properties of craft materials such as clay, fibers, and glass. He holds a BFA from The University of Montana, a post-baccalaureate degree in Craft from Oregon College of Art and Craft, and an MFA from the University of South Florida. Wicks is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Tampa and is the founder and curator of Psychic Jacuzzi, an online platform that showcases the work of emerging and established contemporary artists.
