Call for proposals: NCECA 2014

DEADLINE JAN 4th
 
From March 19 to 22 of 2014 Milwaukee will serve as the host city for the 48th
Annual Conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts
(NCECA).  I am pleased to be serving as the on-site liaison for this conference.
The theme of the conference, Material World, will be dedicated to an
investigation of the complex ways that materials acquire meaning through the things
that we make and those that surround us in our daily lives. Exhibitions and programs
will expand on traditional definitions of fine and decorative arts, craft and design in
the context of the 21st century.
As
a way of reaching out to innovative artists and thinkers I am writing
to let you know about the call for proposals for the 2014 NCECA
concurrent independent exhibitions. We
are looking for dynamic exhibition proposals from artists at various
stages in their career that will be housed throughout Milwaukee in
conjunction with the conference.  Deadline for submission is January 4.

Selected

by a review committee, proposals are considered for their ability to
successfully respond to the thematic structure of the conference and in
the way that they showcase the field at this particular moment in time.  

Please follow this link for complete information: http://nceca.net/static/conference_concurrent_info.php
I
hope that you will consider making a proposal, and would ask that you
pass this email along to anyone that you feel would be interested in the
project.  Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best,
Paul Sacaridiz
