NCECA Annual Conference

2011 CONCURRENT, INDEPENDENT EXHIBITIONS


Tampa, Florida - March 30, April 3, 2011
"Tidal Forces: The Next Wave"

The Call for 2011 Concurrent, Independent Exhibition Proposals is now open.

The art scene in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area is rich, varied, and offers great opportunities to our members. The Tampa Bay area is very supportive of the arts and offers venues for every aspect of ceramics from pots to installations. The On-Site Conference Liaisons and their local committee would like to see proposals for exhibitions with themes that have been underrepresented in the past.  The idea of Florida as the gateway to points south and the rich cultures found in Central and South America, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, etc. are particularly of interest.  New approaches and installations are of interest to some of our venues.  They also know there are collections of cutting edge ceramics as well as traditional decorative arts that could gain some exposure at the available venues.  

Please read the information below to prepare for your Online Submittal. All proposals must be submitted using NCECA’s Online Submittal process (Link to the form is provided below.)

A CD of the proposal also needs to be sent to the NCECA office at:
NCECA
2011 CIE Proposals
Attn: Kate Vorhaus
77 Erie Village Square
Suite 280
Erie, CO 80516-6996
The deadline for the Online Proposal Submittal is December 1, 2009 midnight MST.
The deadline for CDs to arrive in the NCECA office is December 5, 2009.

NCECA will act as a jury and an intermediary in selecting exhibitions that will enhance the conference experience and bring high quality ceramic exhibitions to the hosting community.  The On-site Liaisons will identify host venues and work with them in selecting proposed exhibitions suited to their mission and audience.  NCECA will contact the proposed exhibition primary contact person/curator once a venue has selected them and the two parties can negotiate a contract.  NCECA will assist in promoting the Concurrent Independent Exhibitions juried through this proposal process.   High quality shows thematically organized will be given a higher ranking and proposals that provide shipping, installation and necessary means of display will be given a higher priority.

IMPORTANT application information

The following will be entered or attached to the ONLINE Submittal Form:
