One of the many ways that NCECA supports
its members is by providing opportunities to engage in international
programs. This cultural exchange of ideas is critical to growth
as an artist and as a culture. NCECA began this initiative a
few years ago and already has participated in programs in Korea,
China and Norway, to name a few. We send exhibits to other countries,
fund residencies, and recommend artists to workshop opportunities.
This area will continue to grow as we tap into the many ceramic
arts organizations and museums that have like-minded goals.
The purpose of NCECA is to promote and improve the ceramic arts
through education, research and creative practice. One way in
which we strive to fulfill this purpose is to support, foster
and nurture international programs, including international residencies,
conferences and exhibitions. This is an exciting time for NCECA.
We are working to position ourselves to be able to maximize the
many opportunities that are presenting themselves due to the
generosity and vision of our members, supporters and the NCECA
Board of Directors. And we are looking for ways in which we can
involve our members in international events. We look forward
to NCECA's continued involvement on a global level.

3RD WORLD CERAMIC BIENNALE 2005, KOREA (CEBIKO)
The World Ceramic Exposition Foundation (WOCEF) will hold The 3rd

The Vehicle for Culture” from April 23 to July 19, 2005. It
will be held at the Icheon World Ceramic Center in Icheon, Korea
with additional ceramics festivals in the towns of Gwangju and Yeoju,

This year’s theme recognizes the significant impact each culture
has on ceramics. Increased access to artists’ work on an international
level provides new opportunities, insight and inspiration. These
unique influences will be examined to discover where artists find
their ideas and how trends develop and transform from one culture
to another.
