2007 CALL FOR EXHIBITION PROPOSALS
Mark the dates! NCECA will host its 41st conference March 28-31 in New
Orleans. The theme will be "Joie de Vivre, The Joy of Living" .
Joie de Vivre is a French expression of the hearty or carefree enjoyment of
living. New Orleans is a city rich in associations - many of them sensual.
It is known for its food, music, drinking, carnival and general embrace of
the pleasures of life. Evolving from a unique historical blend of European,
African and American cultures, the flavor of the city is sultry, sweet,
intoxicating and gritty. Through it all comes a sense of immediacy, the
richness of life and that which makes it worthwhile. As ceramic artists,
most of us recognize the sensuality of our material, in its raw and finished
state. An undeniable power of our work lies in its lush and tactile
presence, its ability to reward the touch as well as the gaze. As beauty has
again risen as an issue in contemporary art, the decorative and the ornate
also reclaim status as forms of invention that engage the viewer and enrich
our lives. Similarly, we acknowledge the social and cultural importance of
the rituals of eating and the objects we make and use for the pleasures of
the table.
For questions regarding NCECA in New Orleans, contact Bonita Day, On-site
Co-Liaison. She can be reached at the address below, or by email at:
bonitad@earthlink.net. Exhibition proposals from the membership are being
accepted for the New Orleans conference. Proposals do not necessarily need
to be related to the conference theme. Proposals that are received by
October 15, 2005 will be juried by an NCECA appointed review panel.
Exhibitions of the highest quality and interest will be matched with
galleries and venues that are interested in hosting an NCECA exhibition.
Once the match is made, the curator or proposer of the exhibition will work
directly with the gallery that agrees to host the exhibition. If you wish to
propose an exhibition that you would like to be matched with a local venue,
