We’re still accepting applications for short-term artists-in-residence!
The deadline is Friday July 31st.
However, due to the ongoing covid pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to suspend residencies for fall 2020, and instead will only be accepting applications for attendance from January – April 2021.

PRESS RELEASE
Brand-New Worldwide Ceramics Organization Raises Money for Charity
Launching on 1st August 2020, Ceramics for Charity is striving to use the perfect mix of art, technology, and community, to organize three online fundraising events per year, with each focusing on helping a different cause.
This brand new format brings together three different experts into one platform with one aim:
From the organizers of The Ceramics Congress, the first virtual ceramic event which has had over 100,000 people, from 195 countries attended in the past 2 years and has raised over $50,000 for their selected speakers. Joshua Collinson will be running a similar virtual conference with all proceeds going to charity.
From the organizers of “Clay for ….” fundraisers series that have provided a platform for clay workers from around the world to support worthwhile charitable causes. The Clay for… series include Clay for Nepal, Clay for Queensland, Clay for Clay Community and Clay for Australia which had 477 artists from 30 countries donate their work for sale in support of the Australian Bushfire relief. Vipoo Srivilasa will be organizing a Global Fundraising Raffle, with all proceeds going to charity.
From the Curator of the First Central China International Ceramics Biennale and the Taiwan Ceramics Biennale, which were viewed by almost a million people, Wendy Ger will be organizing a curated online exhibition, with all works for sale, and with 50% or 100% of the proceeds going to charity.
By combining our skills, we hope this first event will raise $100,000 for charities that support Black Lives Matter, Anti-Racism, Human Rights, and Dignity for All.
