                                                     Jingdezhen: 1000 Years Celebration of Porcelain

Jingdezhen: 1000 Years Celebration of Porcelain is a festival planned for May – October 2004 in Jingdezhen, China. To honor the traditions and celebrate the continuing creation of the world-renowned porcelain for which Jingdezhen is internationally famous, the festival will feature international workshops and public sculpture projects, a ceramics conference May 25-31, commemorative wood firings, cultural performances of dance and music, an international ceramic film festival, and exhibitions and museum official openings.

NCECA has been invited to take part in the celebration by sending an exhibition of student work to be shown in conjunction with an exhibition of work by Chinese students. This national student exhibition is open to all NCECA 2003-04 student members and will be juried from slides. Each student member may submit up to two works, with up to two slides per entry. There is no fee to enter works. The Jingdezhen: 1000 Years Celebration of Porcelain organization will award three residencies in San Bao, China to students selected by the jurors based on the quality of their work entered for the exhibition.

Special tours are being arranged to facilitate travel to China to participate in the festival. Students may apply for a $1,500 scholarship toward the cost of participating in a three-week travel and study experience in China. The deadline for application is March 15, 2004. Information on the festival and on the scholarship application process is available at: www.chinaclayart.com and www.jingdezhen1000.com.
