2016 will be the fourth time in its history that NCECA will host its conference in Kansas City. The organization anticipates drawing more than 5000 conference registrants to the city including artists, higher education students and teachers, collectors and enthusiasts. NCECA’s Executive Director Joshua Green writes, “In addition to its accessibility to NCECA members from throughout the United States and abroad, the Kansas City region offers an urban nexus of fountains, bebop and technological innovation. Its horizon connects farmland with cultural complexity. An amalgam of global traditions and local vision, the region’s legacy of great art institutions, patrons, artists and educators has long held an important role in the development of North American ceramic arts.”
CONFERENCE PROGRAMMING
Conference programming ranges from lectures to panel discussions, artist projects and demonstrations, networking opportunities and dozens of exhibitions throughout the greater region. Special strands dedicated to K-12 education and student-centered programming will also be incorporated along with opportunities to learn about ceramics study, residency opportunities, services and products.
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
NCECA’s Annual Conference will be a premier event for the Kansas City region’s 2016 cultural calendar and will include something for everyone interested in ceramic art. Programming will feature leading figures from throughout the United States and other countries.
