MULTIVALENT: Clay, Mindfulness and Memory
54th Annual conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts
Richmond, Virginia March 25-28, 2020

NCECA’s 54th annual conference in Richmond will explore ways that ceramic artists are charting new pathways from the complex meanings of our interwoven histories. NCECA is particularly interested in presenting programming that enriches the theme of this conference, MULTIVALENT: Clay, Mindfulness and Memory. Ceramic art’s diversity of expression and continuous invention generates affinities that extend human imagination. NCECA’s 54th annual conference will explore ways that ceramic artists are charting new pathways from the complex meanings of our interwoven histories.

2020 NCECA EMERGING ARTISTS DEADLINE: October 2, 2019 (11:59PM EDT)

NCECA recommends using Google Chrome or Firefox when using forms on this site. Some forms do not respond well to Internet Explorer or Safari.

NCECA’s Emerging Artists program seeks to identify under-recognized artists doing extraordinary work in ceramic art and highlight them to an international audience during NCECA’s Annual Conference. Curator Sequoia Miller and artist Kevin Snipes will join NCECA Director at Large Julia Galloway as the panel to select Emerging Artists through a review of statements, images, and support documents submitted for consideration. Emerging Artists will receive a $3,300 honorarium, provide articles to be published in the NCECA Journal, exhibit their work, and make presentations during the 2020 NCECA conference in Richmond. Additional opportunities for promotion may occur through NCECA’s blog and other special programming. Exposure during the conference also includes participation in informal talks and special events.

NCECA believes that those creating work offering new/exciting/thoughtful perspectives on the ceramic medium, expanding upon genres of creative production and inquiry are qualified as candidates for its Emerging Artist awards.  An Emerging Artist may be at the early stages of receiving recognition for his/her work but is currently underrepresented through exhibitions or publications that might otherwise bring the work to wide attention. The intent of the award is to recognize, cultivate and amplify vital, new voices of creative endeavor in ceramics. The award enables these artists to reach broader national and international audiences and impact discourse in the field.

Because the concept of emergence in the arts does not invariably correlate with a specific age, or other quantifiable terms, NCECA requires applicants to briefly describe why they perceive themselves to be at an emergent point in their careers and how they anticipate the award will impact the trajectory of their endeavors. The review committee, at their discretion, may eliminate candidates that are considered to be beyond “emerging.”

help support The Clay Studio to dream big!

by | Aug 23, 2019 | | 0 Comments

The Clay Studio has ambitious plans: we’re building a new clay center in South Kensington, Philadelphia — the first of its kind in the U.S. Our expansion and relocation will create luminous new galleries and studios, more spacious classrooms and kilns, advanced equipment and sustainable new programming. Located in one of Philadelphia’s most vibrant arts corridors, our new center will bring together artists, art lovers, and people of all ages to discover and nurture their creativity with clay. We will greatly expand our role as art educators, while securing our place as a leader in the field of ceramic art.

This is a defining moment. Together, we will make this vision a reality! Together, we are an unstoppable force for good!

The Clay Studio

As Philadelphia’s only nonprofit solely dedicated to the education and promotion of the ceramic arts, and as one of the world’s leading institutions in the field, The Clay Studio offers a unique venue for arts enthusiasts.

Founded in 1974, The Clay Studio supports the ceramic arts through its artist residencies, gallery, studio space, educational & outreach programs. The Clay Studio has evolved from its origins as an artist collective into an internationally recognized ceramic art center. As a urban artistic community with a regional and international focal point on ceramics, The Clay Studio hosts artist and provides classes for all levels of interest.
