NCECA Expo has been steadily growing in popularity. Providence NCECA is the first time Expo has had to establish an adjudication process to accept galleries. What great news for our membership because it is well known that as competition for Expo increases so does the quality of the booths.
Artist Rowan Peterson, represented by The Kiln Studio & Gallery
There is a great line-up of returning galleries this year. You may remember the thoughtfully considered and constructed booth space of The Kiln Studio and Gallery from Fairhope, Alabama. Owner, Susie Bowman brings a carefully selected group of southern artists like Ronan Peterson, Matt Schiemann and Ron Meyers to the Expo gallery mix.
Work of Doug Peltzman, represented by Objective Clay
We are pleased the Objective Clay Group is returning for year two of Expo. This active and progressive group of young artists formed Objective Clay after presenting at Arrowmont’s Utilitarian Clay Conference together. The variety of their work ranges from Doug Peltzman’s hard-edged precise porcelain ware, to Sunshine Cobb’s handbuilt and softly finished earthenware. Objective Clay will certainly be a crowd pleaser again this year!
Steven Hill Pitcher from 18 Hands Gallery
18 Hands Gallery is a continued presence in Expo. Their gallery seeks to “represent artists who exhibit superior craftsmanship in their work, whether functional, decorative or sculptural.” Three artists they are representing are Kristen Kieffer, Steven Hill and Christopher Melia.
