With the start of school fast approaching (and already begun for some of you), we want to make sure that you know about all of the fantastic NCECA opportunities available for students working with ceramics in higher education. There are lots of ways to get involved, show your work, present your research, and even get funding for your project, so be sure to mark these important dates on your calendar.
DEADLINE EXTENDED! Student Interests Program Proposals Due Sep. 25
Apply now to present at the 2018 NCECA conference in Pittsburgh! Student Interests programing addresses the concerns of students on a wide variety of related topics, and proposals can be for lectures, co-lectures or panel discussions. Accepted presenters are eligible to receive a complimentary 2018 conference pass provided they are or become NCECA members at the time of acceptance.
Student Show Application Deadline Sep. 27
Don’t miss your chance to be a part of the 2018 National Student Juried Exhibition (NSJE), the premier showcase for rising talent in the ceramic arts. Jurors are Sam Harvey and Martina Lantin.
The 2018 NCECA NSJE is open to undergraduate, graduate and post-baccalaureate students enrolled in the United States of America. Students enrolled at institutions on which the jurors currently serve as faculty are not eligible to apply. The applicant must be working towards a degree or be a post-baccalaureate in art at the time of submittal. NCECA Membership is not a requirement of submission but members will receive a 50% discount on exhibition submission fee as well as a range of other benefits.
