CCACA 2017 brings the ultimate ceramic sculpture event to Davis, CA. In
an intimate setting, you can interact with top artists in a way not
possible at other venues. UC Davis, home to the late sculptor Robert
Arneson, was instrumental in defining a new direction for ceramic art.
Enjoy delightful downtown Davis and be inspired by nationally recognized
ceramic art talents.
Demonstrations, lectures, shows—no other event delivers more inspired
knowledge of ceramic sculpture for a better price. Meet face-to-face
with distinguished ceramic sculptors you might only read about; see and
hear from the artists what makes them top in their field.

Local gallery exhibitions and over 40 college shows bring the best work of the year within easy reach.

  • John Natsoulas Gallery’s annual 30 Ceramic Sculptors
  • The Artery’s California Clay Competition
  • The Davis Arts Center
  • The Pence Gallery
  • and more!

These shows run concurrent with CCACA 2017. See all this and over 40
amazing student shows within a short walk. This is a chance to surround
yourself with the top ceramic art of today and the ideas of the artists
of tomorrow.

BUILDING YOUR ONLINE PRESENCE: a workshop with yours truly : )

by | Sep 23, 2016 | Uncategorized

Wednesdays, October 5 to 26, 10 am –1 pm; Sunday, November 6, 10 am – 4 pm

This
course will survey a variety of online platforms available and proven
successful for artists and other creative professionals. Carole Epp,
founder of Musing About Mud – a blog and Instagram account with over 13k
followers – will cover concepts ranging from marketing and branding to
content production to contextual considerations for dissemination to
practical “how-tos” of online social media platforms. This will not be a
“how to build your website” course, but rather how to use the internet
to grow your business. It is suitable for beginners to those with an
established web presence: Carole will take beginners through the process
of developing an online portfolio – including a website and social
media – introducing and explaining how to use a variety of free online
resources; through this process, she will work with those who are more
experienced to refine each aspect of their online presence so it better
markets them and their work.

Held at Creative Commons YXE, a production space attached to Void Gallery, providing a professional environment and exposure to the workings of a commercial gallery.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The courses are intended for artists
of all skill levels who want to refine their professional practices or
improve their creative business skills. They are suitable for
early-career artists learning new techniques or experienced artists who
would like to receive support and feedback throughout processes they
have been undertaking for years.
