NCECA and Santa Fe Community College School of Art and Design’s Visual Arts Gallery are organizing a competitive ceramic exhibition for artists from the United States. Exhibited concurrently with the general session of the International Academy of Ceramics in Santa Fe, this exhibition will showcase contemporary American Ceramics to international leaders in the field of ceramics.

Concept
Ecumene: Global Interface in America Ceramics
Current American ceramic practice is part of a larger global dialogue in which artists have access to a tremendous amount of historical and contemporary art information, inspiration and images via the internet, travel opportunities and workshops. This New World of Art is a trans-global cultural movement of which America is a full partner. Ecumene also refers to the individual practice of artists in selecting the most relevant, appropriate and meaningful elements from this vocabulary to communicate through their art. To be staged concurrently with the International Academy of Ceramics general assembly in New Mexico, Ecumene is intended to survey current America ceramic practice in light of this globalization.
