NCECA International Residency Awards support projects that are
approximately one month in duration, to occur between April 2017 and
March 2018.  Residency dates vary; check details below.

For 2017, NCECA is pleased to partner with:

• Medalta International Artists In Residence Program
  Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada

• Celebrating 10 years at Curaumilla Art Center with NCECA Residency
  Santiago, Chile

The purpose of NCECA is to promote and improve the ceramic arts
through education, research and creative practice. One of the many ways
that NCECA supports its members is by providing opportunities to engage
in international programs. Intercultural exchange of ideas and methods
is critical to evolution of individual artists who through their
immersion and experimentation, absorb and sometimes transform influences
of other artists and their cultures. NCECA has participated in programs
in Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and South America. Global
interface will continue to play an important role in NCECA’s efforts to
sustain and advance a vibrant ceramic art and education community.

The award amount available for 2017 will be $3750.00 per residency.
Partnering residency centers are expected to support the artists through
in-kind and/ or monetary support subject to their available resources.
