NCECA supports its members is by providing opportunities to engage in international programs. Intercultural exchange of ideas and methods is critical to evolution of individual artists who through their immersion and experimentation, absorb and sometimes transform influences of other artists and their cultures. Global interface continues to play an important role in NCECA’s efforts to sustain and advance a vibrant ceramic art and education community.

NCECA’s 2020 partners for Artist in Residence are the Medalta in the Historic Clay District of Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada and C.R.E.T.A Rome (Ceramics, Residencies, Exhibitions,Teaching & the Arts) Italy!!
