Topical Discussion and NCECA Connection group leaders are needed for the 2010 NCECA 44th Annual Conference in Philadelphia, PA.
“NCECA 2010-entitled INDEPENDENCE–celebrates the individual and the choices they make. An independent spirit is necessary to tear down existing walls, to explore new ideas and to create work that pushes conventional understanding of one medium. An independent spirit is also necessary to maintain tradition, to be bound loosely by historical precedent and function. NCECA 2010 celebrates the independent spirits of traditionalists and groundbreakers.”
NCECA is seeking a diverse group of leaders from its membership that will appeal to our conference attendees. Students (Undergraduate, Post-Bacc, Graduate), Studio Artists, Educators (K-12, Community College, University), Gallerists, Curators, etc. are all encouraged to apply!
Deadline for entry is October 15

The Alberta Craft Council and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts are collaborating on a major exhibition and acquisition of Alberta ceramics. This once in a decade exhibition is a juried competition open to professional and emerging potters, tile makers, clay sculptors, and other ceramic artists from Alberta. The AFA acquired more than $100,000 of contemporary Alberta glass art during 2009. In 2010, the AFA may purchase up to $100,000 of ceramic work primarily through this exhibition. The aim is to up-date the AFA collection, to support ceramic artists’ careers, and to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Alberta Craft Council. The exhibition will be hosted at the Alberta Craft Council Gallery in Edmonton from April to June 2010 and it may tour to locations in Calgary and elsewhere in Alberta, as well as nationally and internationally. The project also includes a virtual exhibition and published catalogue. Applications will be accepted between December 8, 2009 – January 8, 2010. Download an application form here.
