ENTRY DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1, 2012 (midnight MDT)
Overview
NCECA’s Emerging Artists program recognizes exceptional early
career artists through a monetary award, and the opportunity to present
their work to an international audience during NCECA’s Annual
Conference. The monetary awards as well as opportunities for increased
exposure through exhibition and special events are made possible in
part through the generous support of the Windgate Charitable
Foundation.
NCECA defines an Emerging Artist to be one who is beginning to
receive recognition for his/her work but is currently underrepresented,
does not have representation by a nationally prominent gallery, and
is creating work that offers new/exciting/thoughtful perspectives that
expand upon a genre of creative production and inquiry.
Because the concept of emergence in the arts does not readily
correlate with a specific age, or other easily 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.” Applicants are also required to
provide letters of support from two figures in the field who
are familiar with their work and drive to create. Letters should
provide the selection committee with a sense of confirmation of the
candidates’ seriousness of commitment and potential for continued
development.
Eligibility
Applications are welcomed from artists working with ceramic
materials/processes as a significant component of their work.
Applicants may not be students. A current NCECA Membership, at the
time of application, is a required to be eligible to apply for NCECA’s
Emerging Artists. NCECA Membership fees are not included in event
registration. Membership requires payment of an annual fee. CLICK HERE to apply for or renew your membership.
Selection
NCECA’s 2013 Emerging Artists selection committee will consist
of NCECA Director at Large, Sam Chung and two additional members,
distinguished internationally exhibited artists Denise Pelletier and
Chris Antemann. The committee will select six (6) Emerging Artists
who will receive complementary registration in NCECA’s 47th Annual
Conference and be awarded an additional year’s membership. Applications
will be due October 1, 2012 and the review committee will reach its decisions before the end of October 2012 after which applicants will be notified.
Awardee Benefits and Requirements
A formal agreement outlining terms and conditions associated with
this honor will be sent to the selected artists soon after jurying is
completed. Selected artists’ images and application materials will be
retained by NCECA and will be held in the NCECA archives. Images may be
used to promote NCECA’s Emerging Artists program and may be posted on
NCECA’s website and contributed to a new NCECA image community being
developed in cooperation with AccessCeramics. Emerging Artists will be
considered conference presenters and will therefore be ineligible for a
presenter role or honorarium in the year following the award.
Artists selected as 2013 Emerging Artists are required to provide a
written summary of their presentation for the NCECA Annual Conference
for publication in the NCECA Journal by December 18, 2012. This summary
must be accompanied by five 300 dpi images appropriate for print
publication. Also required by this date is a 50-word abstract of this
submission to be included in the 2013 NCECA Conference Program Guide.
The selected artists will be required to attend the 47th Annual NCECA
Conference, participate in special “meet and greet” events with
collectors, prepare remarks and make presentations (approximately 10
minutes in duration) during the Second Members’ Business Meeting on
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Emerging Artists will receive a $2500 award
that will be presented during the closing ceremonies of NCECA’s 47th
Annual Conference at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston,
TX. Emerging Artists will also be eligible for a shipping reimbursement
to transport work for a featured exhibition at the conference center
from March 19-22, 2013. Artists are required to help install/de-install
their work and be present periodically during the course of the
Emerging Artists Exhibition. Emerging Artists will also be required
to participate in individual interviews to be posted in the
NCECA/Crafthaus Blog. Emerging Artists will be expected to contribute
periodic postings to blog.nceca.net
during the year following their presentations at the conference.
Images of their work will also be incorporated in a new NCECA image
library that will be developed in cooperation with accessCeramics.org.

Peaceable Kingdom invites artists to investigate our
storied and rich relationship with the animal world. The exhibition
will explore the ways in which animals have been a presence in the
visual arts as metaphors, totems, objects of fear, and sources of
emotional attachment and affection. The history of human and animal
interaction is filled with tales of love, unusual friendships,
failed domestication, and fearsome predators. From Kipling’s
ferocious Shere Khan to the early imperial menageries, human fascination
with the animal kingdom has run the gamut from emotional connection,
to economic exploitation, and even scientific curiosity. Throughout
all of these interactions, however, the sense of wonder we feel when
we encounter animal life has been an enduring theme that has
informed their continual and abiding presence in the visual arts. Peaceable Kingdom
encourages artists to meditate on
these complex and diverse relationships, addressing such issues as
antagonism, admiration, attachment, and even the politically
charged issue of animal rights.
