Here’s proof — they received some 700 submissions for the show. You can see 200 of those on display. Not bad. (MB) Music City Building, begins at 5 pm, free

The annual Archie Bray Foundation Resident Show has become an October institution here, and it’s the best place to see some of the most seriously kick-ass ceramic work around. Jim Kolva and Pat Sullivan, connoisseurs of great, edgy, groundOCT. 4-25 breaking art, invite residents from Montana’s Archie Bray Foundation — an incredible educational institution focused on ceramics — to show their works here each year. The show takes on many different forms: everything from micro-works to coffee cups and giant installations, often with great narratives and heavy explorations of irony.
