Bracker's proudly sponsors a scholarship for this program and we are excited to support more emerging artists produce incredible work like this! We encourage anyone looking to showcase their artistic endeavors and explore different avenues in the art of ceramics to look into this program and apply - applications for the next session are due June 1st so don't wait!  @northernclaycenter  #ceramics  #education  #studio  #MNNICE  Photo owned by Northern Clay Center

Sharing an important email we received from (pleas Sharing an important email we received from (please spread the word!):  Hello K-12 Ceramic Arts Teachers,  In order to best support the teachers we serve, we have extended the entry period for one week to enable those we have requested an extension of time due to the changing schedules at schools impacted by Covid19.  WE HAVE EXTENDED OUR SUBMISSION PERIOD
FOR ONE WEEK  UNTIL  JANUARY 19, 2021 
Please do not wait until the last minute to submit your entries.  It takes the foundation many weeks to prepare the submitted entries for adjudication and presentation as an exhibition.  Our calendar for the opening of our exhibit has not changed.  It is still timed to coincide with the NCECA conference schedule.  The time gained with this one week extension will have to be made up as part of  our revised processing of entries. Your earliest possible submission of entries will be appreciated.  We all hope this extension will help many of our teachers manage the difficulties manifest by this pandemic.  We hope this extension will make a difference for those who have requested extra time as they continue their work with students in these difficult times.  We thank you all for your continued patience and persistence and wish you all safety and health.  On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Exhibition Team at k12clay.org  #nationalk12ceramicexhibition #k12clay #ceramics #highschoolart #arthonorsociety  NationalArtHonorSociety  National Art Education Association  NCECA
