The 2014 Indigenous Ceramic Art Award
(ICAA) applications are now open and Indigenous ceramic artists
from across Australia are encouraged to apply.
The ICAA encourages and stimulates excellence in this sphere,
providing cultural exchange opportunities for Indigenous artists
from around Australia and regional Victoria. This biennial award
exhibition surveys current Indigenous ceramic art practise,
demonstrating current developments in the field, including
contemporary and traditional works. Established under the patronage
of acclaimed artist Dr Gloria Thanakupi Fletcher, this Award
celebrates and supports the rich and diverse use of the ceramic
medium by Indigenous artists and acknowledges the special industry
of ceramic art.
SAM is a regional Art Museum with a unique focus. It
collects Australian ceramics from the 19th and 20th century and its
ceramic collection is one of the best in Australia. SAM’s
collection of Australian and International ceramics now spans over
3000 works. Due to the Indigenous Ceramic Art Award, SAM now
has a growing collection of contemporary Aboriginal ceramics.
An exciting public program of cultural activities also
accompanies the exhibition and typically includes: ceramic
workshops with artists, exhibition floor talks, ceramic workshops
for children, and ceramic workshops for Indigenous men and
women.

A little about myself—I grew up in West Virginia, where I attended a small liberal arts college. Through an amazing clay program, I was able to see where the possibilities of clay could take you! I graduated in 2010 with my Bachelors of Art and moved to Mississippi to start graduated school. I went to The University of Mississippi, where I completed my Masters of Fine Art under the direction of Matt Long in the spring of 2013. I am currently an adjunct at my alma mater, Concord University in Athens WV and work as part time as a gallery assistant at the David L. Dickirson Fine Arts Gallery in Beckley WV.
