More information about the exhibition:

Clay in Mind a juried exhibition of outstanding three-dimensional ceramic artworks, functional and non-functional, created by high school students throughout New Jersey. This is Clay in Mind's 17th competition, and it was created in dedication to the memory of James Colavita, ceramic sculptor, and former teacher at Mercer County Community College. The exhibit was designed to give a venue to high school students' ceramic artworks and to promote professional development in the medium for teachers and students.

Annually, each school may enter artworks, either functional or non-functional, whose primary medium is clay. The works must be original in concept and executed solely by the student. The blind jurying is held at Sayreville War Memorial High School. Teachers and their students participate in a variety of clay related activities while awaiting the judge's decision. A total of 20 pieces are selected by the judge and move on to a gallery for public display and a closing ceremony.
