NCECA 2024 Juried Student Exhibition

The 2024 NCECA Juried Student Exhibition is open to undergraduate, graduate, and post-baccalaureate students enrolled in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Recent graduates' work is eligible if created within the last 12 months while they were still students. Applicants must have been working toward a degree or post-baccalaureate in art when the work was created. Works must have been completed within 12 months of the submission deadline. Students enrolled at institutions where the jurors currently serve as faculty are not eligible to apply.

The exhibition will run March 1–24, 2024, at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond (1812 W Main Street, Richmond, VA 23220) and will run concurrently with Coalescence, the 58th annual conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, March 20-23, 2024. Ceramic artists April Felipe and Jennifer Zwilling will select works for the exhibition. Entry fee is $30.00 for non-members; NCECA members receive complimentary entry. Artists may submit up to two separate works with no more than two media files per work. All works must be primarily ceramic; mixed media works are accepted only when clay is the dominant material. Work samples must not include the artist's name. Individual objects should weigh less than 100 lbs. and have dimensions that can pass through a 36" x 80" entrance door. Floor and pedestal works must be self-supporting; wall hanging works must be provided with secure hanging systems. Video samples should be submitted as links to YouTube, Vimeo, or similar platforms, no longer than two minutes per video. All submissions must include a declaration of monetary value for insurance purposes.
